Description

Msh, N(Alpha)-Bct-1-Ser-4-Nle-7-Phe-α- is a synthetic peptide analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This compound is of significant interest in biochemical and pharmaceutical research due to its role in melanogenesis and potential interactions with melanocortin receptors. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical developers focused on dermatology, pigmentary disorders, and receptor signaling 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 or active agent in studies of melanocortin receptor (MCR) binding, activation, and downstream signaling pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key intermediate or lead compound in the discovery and development of novel therapeutics targeting skin pigmentation, inflammation, or appetite regulation.
• In Vitro Assays: Employed in cell-based assays to study melanogenesis, tyrosinase activity, and the effects on melanocyte proliferation and differentiation.
• Academic Studies: Utilized in university and institutional labs for fundamental research into peptide structure-activity relationships (SAR) and hormone analog design.
• Diagnostic Tool Development: May be incorporated into diagnostic kits or probes for investigating melanocortin system disorders.
