Melanocortin Receptor
MC Receptor
The melanocortin (MC) receptors represent a subfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) where the different subtypes are involved in a wide range of physiological functions such as pigmentation, steroid secretion, energy homeostasis, and food intake. The melanocortin receptor (MCR) family consists of five G-protein-coupled receptors (MC1R-MC5R). MC1R controls pigmentation, MC2R is a critical component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, MC3R and MC4R have a vital role in energy homeostasis and MC5R is involved in exocrine function.
MCRs are activated by a variety of neuropeptides, termed melanocortins, that include the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) andα, β and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSHs). Melanocortins derive from post-translational processing of the common polypeptide precursor pro-opiomelanocortin, expressed mainly in the hypothalamus and pituitary.

Tetracosactide acetate
0 ImagesSynonyms: Tetracosactrin acetate; ACTH(1–24) acetateTetracosactide acetate (Tetracosactrin acetate ) is the acetate salt form of Tetracosactide (HY-P0060). Tetracosactide acetate is an analogue of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Tetracosactide acetate is the agonist for melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) that activates human MC4R with an EC50 of 0.65 nM. Tetracosactide acetate can stimulate the release of corticosteroids such as cortisol from the adrenal gland. Tetracosactide acetate is currently used for the research of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, juvenile/adult rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthrosis.

Acetyl hexapeptide-1 acetate
0 ImagesSynonyms: Melitane acetateAcetyl hexapeptide-1 (Melitane) acetate is a biomimetic peptide that mimics the activity of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Acetyl hexapeptide-1 acetate can regulate muscle contraction, thereby reducing facial expression lines. Acetyl hexapeptide-1 acetate is one of the components of anti-aging skin care essences targeting dynamic wrinkles. Acetyl hexapeptide-1 acetate can be used in studies related to mild photo-aged facial skin and premature graying of hair.
