  2. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanocyte-stimulating_hormone

    The melanocyte-stimulating hormones, known collectively as MSH, also known as melanotropins or intermedins, are a family of peptide hormones and neuropeptides consisting of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), β-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (β-MSH), and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (γ-MSH) that are produced by cells in the pars intermedia of the anterior lobe of the pituitary ...

  3. α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-melanocyte-stimulating...

    α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) is an endogenous peptide hormone and neuropeptide of the melanocortin family, with a tridecapeptide structure and the amino acid sequence Ac-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-NH 2.

  4. γ-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Γ-Melanocyte-stimulating...

    γ-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (γ-MSH) is an endogenous peptide hormone and neuropeptide. [1] It is a melanocortin, specifically, one of the three types of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), and is produced from proopiomelanocortin (POMC). [1] It is an agonist of the MC 1, MC 3, MC 4, and MC 5 receptors. [1]

  5. Melanocortin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanocortin

    When POMC neurons release α-MSH, appetite is decreased. On the other hand, when AgRP neurons release AgRP, appetite is stimulated. Leptin, the energy surfeit hormone, and Ghrelin, the hunger hormone, are upstream regulators of the melanocortin system in the brain. [27] These hormones also regulate the release of peptides other than the ...

  6. Melanocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanocyte

    When a hair is lost and the hair follicle regenerates, the stem cells are activated. These stem cells develop into both keratinocyte precursors and melanoblasts - and these melanoblasts supply both hair and skin (moving into the basal layer of the epidermis). There is additionally evidence that melanocyte stem cells are present in cutaneous ...

  7. Melanotroph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanotroph

    A melanotroph (or melanotrope) is a cell in the pituitary gland that generates melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α‐MSH) from its precursor pro-opiomelanocortin. Chronic stress can induce the secretion of α‐MSH in melanotrophs and lead to their subsequent degeneration. [1]

  8. Corticotropic cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticotropic_cell

    Corticotropic cells, (corticotropes or corticotrophs) are basophilic cells in the anterior pituitary that produce pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) which undergoes cleavage to adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), β-lipotropin (β-LPH), and melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). These cells are stimulated by corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) and make up 15 ...

  9. Pars intermedia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pars_intermedia

    The cells in the pars intermedia are large and pale. They surround follicles that contain a colloidal matrix. [3] The pars intermedia secretes α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), and corticotropin-like intermediate peptide. [citation needed] It appears to be tonically inhibited by the hypothalamus.
