CAS Number:581-05-5Molecular Formula:C77H109N21O19SMolecular Weight:1664.9Purity:> 95%Chemical Structure:Ac-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-NH2Application:Alpha-MSH, also known as α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), is a 13-amino acid peptide originally characterized as a neuropeptide derived from the pituitary gland. α-MSH is synthesized from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) by the action of specific prohormone convertases and is involved in the regulation of important physiological functions including food intake, energy homeostasis, modulation of immune responses and photoprotection.Storage/Stability:Shipped at 4°C. Store at -20°C for one year.
