Description

Lys-γ3-Msh CAS NO 156159-18-1 is a synthetic peptide analog of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH), a key regulatory hormone involved in skin pigmentation and immune response modulation. This compound is of significant interest for its high purity and specificity in advanced biochemical research and pharmaceutical development. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and biotechnology companies focusing on dermatology, inflammation, and metabolic disorders.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and active agent in studies of melanocortin receptor (MCR) signaling pathways.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Serves as a key intermediate or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the development of novel therapeutics for skin conditions and inflammatory diseases.
• Dermatology Studies: Applied in vitro and in vivo models to investigate mechanisms of pigmentation, skin inflammation, and photoprotection.
• Immunology Research: Utilized to study the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects mediated by melanocortin receptors.
• Metabolic Disorder Research: Investigated for its potential role in energy homeostasis, food intake regulation, and related metabolic pathways.
• Peptide Synthesis & Customization: Acts as a base structure for the synthesis of modified peptide analogs with enhanced stability or receptor selectivity.
