ALPHA-MSH Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Uses
alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone amide is an endogenous melanocortin receptor agonist (Ki values are 0.12, 31, 660 and 5700 nM for MC1, MC3, MC4 and MC5 receptors respectively). Anti-inflammatory peptide; antagonizes proinflammatory mediators, including TNF-α, IL-6 and NO and induces anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Inhibits food intake and induces penile erections following i.c.v. administration.
General Description
α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is a tridecapeptide, mostly produced by the cells in the brain, pituitary and circulation. Pro-inflammatory cytokines or UV light induced epidermal cells such as keratinocytes and melanocytes synthesize and discharge α–MSH. Poopiomelanocortin (POMC) acts as a precursor for α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) production.
Purification Methods
Its solubility in H2O is 1mg/mL. It is separated from the extract by ion-exchange on carboxymethyl cellulose, desalted, evaporated and lyophilised, then chromatographed on Sephadex G-25. [Lande et al. Biochemical Preparations 13 45 1971.]
Structure and conformation
Three types of MSH molecules, with different amino
acid sequences, are contained in the common precursor
POMC in mammals. α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone
(α-MSH) is composed of 13 aa residues. This peptide is generated from the N-terminal region of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and corresponds to acetylACTH(1–13)-amide. In MSH, the N-terminal Ser residue
is free, monoacetylated at the N position, or diacetylated
at the N and O positions, whereas the carboxyl terminal
is consistently in the amide form. These variations of
MSH are called desacetyl-α-MSH, α-MSH, and diacetyl-α-MSH, respectively. Of these peptides, α-MSH is a classical
α-MSH. β-MSH, which is generated from POMC via
β-lipotropin (β-LPH), is composed of 18 aa residues. Unlike
α-MSH, in β-MSH both termini are free. γ-MSH is produced
from POMC via pro-γ-MSH or N-POMC, which consists of
γ-MSH together with a joining peptide. γ-MSH (also known
as γ1-MSH) is composed of 12 aa residues in which the
N-terminus and the C-terminus are free and amide, respectively. γ3-MSH is composed of 25 aa residues in which the
N-terminal region corresponds to γ1-MSH. Each MSH segment is flanked by basic amino acid residues. Cartilaginous
fish such as sharks, rays, and ratfish possess δ-MSH in addition to the three other MSH peptides. Comparison with the
amino acid sequence and topology of POMC suggests that
δ-MSH might have evolved from β-MSH. Accordingly,
α-MSH and γ-MSH are suggested to share an antecedent.
Teleost POMC lacks γ-MSH.
