Description

Gamma3-Msh is a synthetic peptide analog 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 dermatological, pigmentary, and inflammatory pathway studies. The product is supplied as a high-purity material to ensure reliable and reproducible experimental results.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and active agent in studies of melanocortin receptors (MC1R).
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Investigated for potential therapeutic applications in skin pigmentation disorders and inflammatory conditions.
• Cell Signaling Studies: Employed to activate cAMP pathways in cell-based assays to study downstream effects.
• Dermatology Research: A key tool for understanding melanin production and developing related treatments.
• Peptide Chemistry: Serves as a building block or model compound in peptide synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
