Diacetyl-α-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone
Diacetyl-α-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (CAS 71952-90-4), with the molecular formula C79H111N21O20S and a molecular weight of 1706.92 g/mol, is a synthetic peptide analogue related to the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This compound is primarily utilised in biochemical research for its roles in cell signalling, particularly concerning melanocyte function and pigmentation. It serves as a valuable tool in studies investigating endocrine pathways and cellular responses.
Melanogenesis Research
Investigate the intricate pathways regulating melanin production in melanocytes. Diacetyl-α-MSH can be used to probe the effects of melanocortin receptor activation on pigmentation processes in vitro and in cell culture models.
Cell Signalling Studies
Explore the downstream signalling cascades initiated by melanocortin receptor activation. This peptide can help researchers understand cellular responses beyond pigmentation, such as inflammation and immune modulation, mediated by these receptors.
Neuroscience Research
Utilise this compound in studies examining the role of melanocortins in the central nervous system. Its influence on appetite regulation, energy balance, and other neurological functions can be investigated.
Immunomodulatory Investigations
Examine the potential immunomodulatory effects of melanocortin signalling. Diacetyl-α-MSH can serve as a research tool to explore its impact on immune cell function and inflammatory responses.
