Description

α-MSH (α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone) TFA, an endogenous neuropeptide, is an endogenous melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) agonist with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities. α-MSH TFA is a post-translational derivative of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)[1][2].

IC50 & Target

MC4R

 

In Vitro

α-MSH TFA modulates CNS inflammation by acting directly on melanocortin receptors in glial cells. α-MSH TFA modulates NFκB activation. α-MSH TFA inhibits translocation of transcription factor κB to the nucleus[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
