CAS 128315-56-0: melanin concentrating hormone rat
Description:Melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) is a neuropeptide primarily involved in the regulation of energy balance, appetite, and circadian rhythms. The substance identified by the CAS number 128315-56-0 refers specifically to the rat form of this hormone. MCH is produced in the hypothalamus and plays a crucial role in stimulating feeding behavior and promoting fat storage. It is characterized by its ability to influence various physiological processes, including sleep regulation and stress response. The peptide consists of a sequence of amino acids, which contributes to its biological activity and interaction with specific receptors in the brain. MCH is also implicated in the modulation of melanin production in certain species, hence its name. Research on MCH has expanded its relevance in understanding obesity and metabolic disorders, making it a target for potential therapeutic interventions. Overall, MCH is a significant player in neuroendocrine signaling, with diverse effects on behavior and metabolism.
