Melanocyte-stimulating hormone : ウィキペディア英語版 | Melanocyte-stimulating hormone
The melanocyte-stimulating hormones, known collectively as MSH, also known as melanotropins or intermedins, are a family of peptide hormones and neuropeptides consisting of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), β-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (β-MSH), and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (γ-MSH) that are produced by cells in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland. Synthetic analogues of α-MSH, such as afamelanotide (melanotan I; Scenesse), melanotan II, and bremelanotide (PT-141), have been developed and researched. ==Function== MSH stimulate the production and release of melanin (a process referred to as melanogenesis) by melanocytes in skin and hair. MSH actions in the brain have effects on appetite and sexual arousal.
