1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

α-MSH functions by binding to melanocortin receptors (MCRs), particularly MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R, activating signaling pathways that regulate pigmentation, inflammation, appetite, and energy homeostasis. This receptor interaction mediates cellular responses such as melanin synthesis and cytokine modulation.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This product is used in research on skin pigmentation, inflammatory diseases, and metabolic disorders. It is also applied in studies of appetite regulation, obesity, and potential therapeutic approaches for vitiligo, psoriasis, and other conditions influenced by melanocortin pathways.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that α-MSH can promote melanogenesis, reduce inflammation, and modulate energy balance. Its therapeutic potential is being explored for pigmentary disorders, chronic inflammatory conditions, and metabolic syndromes, with evidence supporting its role in mediating anti-inflammatory and pigmentation effects.
