Description

Msh, 4-Nle-α- CAS NO 64887-70-3 is a synthetic peptide derivative of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This compound is of significant interest in biochemical research and pharmaceutical development due to its role in melanogenesis and potential anti-inflammatory properties. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in metabolic studies, skin biology, and the development of novel therapeutic agents.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and active agent in studies of melanocortin receptor (MCR) signaling pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate or lead compound in the research of treatments for inflammatory and skin pigmentation disorders.
• In Vitro Diagnostics: Employed in the development of assay kits and diagnostic tools targeting melanocortin system activity.
• Academic Studies: Utilized in university and institutional labs for fundamental research in endocrinology and peptide pharmacology.
• Cosmeceutical Research: Investigated for potential applications in topical formulations aimed at skin conditioning and pigmentation modulation.
