Alpha-MSH
Alpha-MSH, also known as ?-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (?-MSH), is a 13-amino acid peptide originally characterized as a neuropeptide derived from the pituitary gland. ?-MSH is synthesized from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) by the action of specific prohormone convertases and is involved in the regulation of important physiological functions including food intake, energy homeostasis, modulation of immune responses and photoprotection.
