Target: melanin-concentrating hormone

Application: [Ala17]-MCH is an analog of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), where alanine replaces the amino acid at position 17. MCH is a neuropeptide that regulates appetite and energy homeostasis by binding to MCH receptors in the brain, influencing feeding behavior and energy expenditure. [Ala17]-MCH is often used in research to study the physiological roles of MCH and its receptors. It is utilized in pharmacological studies focused on obesity, metabolic disorders, and potential therapeutic interventions targeting the MCH system to regulate body weight and metabolism.
