Potent endogenous MCH agonist
Melanin-concentrating hormone (human,mouse,rat)
≥95% (HPLC)
MCH (human, mouse, rat) is a potent endogenous agonist at melanin-concentration hormone (MCH) receptors (IC 50 values are 0.3 and 1.5 nM and EC 50 values are 3.9 and 0.1 nM at MCH 1 and MCH 2 receptors respectively). Increases food intake in vivo.
