Scientific Background
α-MSH is an endogenous neuropeptide and a post-translational derivative of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). It is an agonist of melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) with reported anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities. Its C-terminal tripeptide KPV is also studied for anti-inflammatory signaling.
