Molecules, 2021 The production of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a peptide hormone composed of 13 amino acids, is attempted by recombinant expression using E. coli as the host. To achieve this aim, a synthetic gene containing eight tandem repeats of msh gene (

Combination of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone with conventional antibiotics against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Our previous studies revealed that alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is strongly active against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) including methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA).

The Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Suppresses TLR2-Mediated Functional Responses through IRAK-M in Normal Human Keratinocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a highly conserved 13-aa neuropeptide derived from pro-opiomelanocortin by post-translational processing, which has been reported to exhibit potent anti-inflammatory activity and a wide range of ...

Biomedicines, 2021 The functions of anorexigenic neurons secreting proopiomelanocortin (POMC)/alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) of the melanocortin system in the hypothalamus in vertebrates are energy homeostasis, food intake, and body weight regulation. However,

Molecular Metabolism, 2018 Objective: Regulation of energy balance depends on pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides and melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R). Alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is the predicted natural POMC-derived peptide that regulates energy balance ...

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Retinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major cause of vision loss in many ocular diseases. Retinal I/R injury is common in diabetic retinopathy, which as a result of hyperglycemia damages the retina and can cause blindness if left untreated ...

α-Melanocyte stimulating hormone promotes muscle glucose uptake via melanocortin 5 receptors
Molecular Metabolism, 2016 Objective: Central melanocortin pathways are well-established regulators of energy balance. However, scant data exist about the role of systemic melanocortin peptides. We set out to determine if peripheral α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) plays a
