Acetyl-ACTH (1-13) amide, a-Melanotropin (human). a-Melanotropin, also known as a-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH), is a 13-amino acid peptide originally characterized as a neuropeptide derived from the pituitary gland. a-MSH is synthesized from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) by the action of specific prohormone convertases and is involved in the regulation of important physiological functions including food intake, energy homeostasis, modulation of immune responses and photoprotection.
