The effect of monensin on the maturation of proopiomelanocortin, the common precursor to .alpha.-melanotropin and .beta.-endorphin in intermediate lobe cells of the rat pituitary was studied. Monensin can completely inhibit the proteolytic processing of pro-opiomelanocortin but does not interfere with the addition of terminal sugars on carbohydrate side chains as tested by their sensitivity to endo-.beta.-N-acetylglucosaminidase H.
