Application

?-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (?–MSH) has been used for following studies: it has been Intracerebroventricularly (icv) injected to mice for behavioral studies. to determine the effect of ??MSH on growth of stationary Nb 2 node lymphoma cell cultures. to determine the effect of ??MSH on leptin secretion in the primary cultures of differentiated adipocytes. ??MSH promoted melanin production in the B16-F1 cells from murine melanoma cell line.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pituitary hormone which causes darkening skin pigmentation from amphibians to humans. In mammals, it can also have behavioral effects on learning, attention, and memory.

?-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (?-MSH) acts as an anti-inflammatory agent via down regulating the production and activity of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-? and IL-6 expressed in various cells of the immune system. It also controls the nitric oxide production associated with inflammation. ??MSH inhibits nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B)-dependent gene transcription and NF-?B pathway induced by TNF and other inflammatory agents. This activity of ?-MSH is mediated through the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and activation of protein kinase A (PKA) enzyme. ?–MSH functions as a potent therapeutics for various conditions resulted through NF-?B activation including, inflammatory diseases, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication in AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), and septic shock. ?-MSH has an essential role to play in melanin production in animals. ?-MSH regulates development of several skin diseases, including cutaneous inflammation and hyper-proliferative skin diseases.

Hormone that stimulates melanogenesis; facilitates learning and memory; affects inflammatory and immune responses and peripheral nerve regeneration.

General description

?-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (?-MSH) is a tridecapeptide, mostly produced by the cells in the brain, pituitary and circulation. Pro-inflammatory cytokines or UV light induced epidermal cells such as keratinocytes and melanocytes synthesize and discharge ?–MSH. Poopiomelanocortin (POMC) acts as a precursor for ?-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (?-MSH) production.
