Final answer:

CLIP is not a product of POMC processing. POMC leads to the creation of several active peptides such as alpha-MSH, beta-lipotropin, CRH, and beta-endorphin, but not CLIP.

Step-by-step explanation:

The product not resulting from POMC processing is CLIP (Corticotropin-like intermediate peptide). Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor polypeptide with several cleavage sites that, when processed by enzymes, leads to the creation of multiple active peptides. The ones that are products of POMC processing include alpha-MSH (alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone), beta-lipotropin, CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone), and beta-endorphin. Among the given options, CLIP is not a product of POMC processing.
