Melanin-concentratinghormone (Oncorhynchus keta) (9CI)

Description:
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a neuropeptide primarily involved in the regulation of pigmentation and feeding behaviors in various species, including the Pacific salmon, Oncorhynchus keta. The compound with CAS number 87218-84-6 is a synthetic version of this hormone, characterized by its role in modulating melanin dispersion in melanophores, which are pigment-containing cells. MCH is known to influence appetite and energy homeostasis, making it a subject of interest in studies related to obesity and metabolic disorders. Structurally, MCH is composed of a sequence of amino acids that contribute to its biological activity, and it typically exists in a peptide form. The substance is soluble in water and exhibits stability under physiological conditions, although its activity can be influenced by various factors such as pH and temperature. Research into MCH continues to explore its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the fields of endocrinology and neurobiology.
