MCH(human, mouse, rat) TFA
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
MCH (human, mouse, rat) TFA is a cyclic neuropeptide mainly synthesized by neurons in the lateral hypothalamic area. MCH (human, mouse, rat) TFA also serves as an endogenous ligand for the melanin-concentrating hormone receptor (MHC receptor), with a binding IC50 of 0.3 nM and 1.5 nM for human MCH-1R and MCH-2R, respectively; its functional EC50 values are 3.9 nM and 88.7 nM. MCH (human, mouse, rat) TFA acts not only as an orexigenic signal but also as a key integrating and regulatory hormone for energy homeostasis and sleep-wake cycles. MCH (human, mouse, rat) TFA can be used in studies related to obesity, sleep disorders, and other associated conditions.

MCH (human, mouse, rat) TFA induces calcium-mediated chloride currents in Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing the SLC-1 receptor by activating the phospholipase C pathway[4].
MCH (human, mouse, rat) TFA exerts inhibitory effects on primary cultured rat LH neurons, including reducing spontaneous firing frequency, suppressing glutamatergic synaptic transmission, and decreasing the amplitude of VDCC via a Gi/o-dependent pathway, with an IC50 of 7.84 nM, and it does not induce GIRK currents[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Levels of MCH (human, mouse, rat) TFA are upregulated in fasted rats, leptin-deficient ob/ob obese mice, fa/fa rats, and diet-induced obese rats[2].
TFA form of MCH (human, mouse, rat) (administered intracerebroventricularly; acute single injection; chronic infusion) exerts orexigenic effects in Wistar rats and Sprague-Dawley rats, including increased acute food intake and obesity induced by chronic infusion[3].
TFA form of MCH (human, mouse, rat) (intracerebral/intracerebroventricular; chronic administration) increases food intake, body weight and obesity in mice, while overexpression of this substance in the lateral hypothalamus induces obesity and insulin resistance[4].
