.delta.-MSH

Description:

.delta.-MSH, or delta-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, is a peptide hormone that plays a significant role in various physiological processes, including pigmentation, appetite regulation, and energy homeostasis. It is derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and is part of the melanocortin family of peptides. This hormone primarily interacts with melanocortin receptors, influencing skin pigmentation by stimulating melanin production in melanocytes. Additionally, .delta.-MSH has been implicated in the modulation of inflammatory responses and may have neuroprotective effects. Its structure consists of a sequence of amino acids, which contributes to its biological activity. The CAS number 100930-04-9 uniquely identifies this specific peptide in chemical databases, facilitating research and application in fields such as pharmacology and biochemistry. Overall, .delta.-MSH is a crucial molecule in understanding the complex interplay between hormones and physiological functions in the body.

δ-MSH

CAS: 100930-04-9

Delta-MSH is a melanocortin receptor agonist that binds to the melanocortin receptors and stimulates the release of ACTH. It is expressed in tissues such as the dogfish, mouse and human, and has a high affinity for these receptors. Delta-MSH binds to the melanocortin receptors and induces the release of ACTH from the pituitary gland. This compound is also able to stimulate the release of cAMP from cells in tissue culture. The cloning and sequencing of this peptide has revealed that it contains tryptophan residues at cyclic sequences that are involved in its function.br>br>
