Binding and stimulation of cAMP by the melanotropin peptides alpha-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) and its superpotent analogues [Nle4, DPhe7]alpha-MSH (MT-I) and Ac-[Nle4,[formula: see text]alpha-MSH4-10-NH2 (MT-II) were undertaken to examine their respective properties on the human peripheral melanocyte melanocortin receptor, hMC1R. alpha-MSH was found to possess a binding IC50 value of 6.5 +/- 0.9 x 10(-9) M and cAMP EC50 value of 2.0 +/- 0.6 x 10(-9) M. MT-I possesses a binding IC50 value of 1.2 +/- 0.3 x 10(-9) M and a cAMP EC50 of 0.5 +/- 0.03 x 10(-9) M. MT-II possesses a binding IC50 of 0.57 +/- 0.08 x 10(-9) M and cAMP EC50 value of 0.20 +/- 0.05 x 10(-9) M.

D008116 Lizards Reptiles within the order Squamata that generally possess limbs, moveable EYELIDS, and EXTERNAL EAR openings, although there are some species which lack one or more of these structures. Chameleons,Geckos,Chameleon,Gecko,Lizard
D008544 Melanocytes Mammalian pigment cells that produce MELANINS, pigments found mainly in the EPIDERMIS, but also in the eyes and the hair, by a process called melanogenesis. Coloration can be altered by the number of melanocytes or the amount of pigment produced and stored in the organelles called MELANOSOMES. The large non-mammalian melanin-containing cells are called MELANOPHORES. Melanocyte
D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D009074 Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormones Peptides with the ability to stimulate pigmented cells MELANOCYTES in mammals and MELANOPHORES in lower vertebrates. By stimulating the synthesis and distribution of MELANIN in these pigmented cells, they increase coloration of skin and other tissue. MSHs, derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), are produced by MELANOTROPHS in the INTERMEDIATE LOBE OF PITUITARY; CORTICOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR LOBE OF PITUITARY, and the hypothalamic neurons in the ARCUATE NUCLEUS OF HYPOTHALAMUS.
