melanin-concentrating hormone receptor

Melanin Concentrating Hormone, salmon acetate (MCH (salmon)) is a 19 amino acid cyclic peptide, is largely expressed in the hypothalamus.

HMCH-1R Antagonist 1 (Compound 30) serves as an effective and selective antagonist for the human melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (hMCHR1), exhibiting a K_B value of 3.6 nM. It possesses the ability to bind to hMCHR1 and hMCHR2, with IC_50 values of 65 nM and 49 nM, respectively. This compound is applicable in metabolic research [1].

Neuropeptide EI, rat acetate Displays functional MCH-antagonist and MSH-agonist activity in different behavioral paradigms.

PG 931 acetate is a potent agonist of melanocortin 4 (MC4) receptors.

MCH(human, mouse, rat) is a potent endogenous agonist at melanin-concentration hormone (MCH) receptors (IC50 values are 0.3 and 1.5 nM and EC50 values are 3.9 and 0.1 nM at MCH1 and MCH2 receptors respectively). Increases food intake in vivo.

Potent melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) receptor agonist (EC50 values are 17 and 54 nM at MCH1 and MCH2 receptors respectively). Displays some selectivity towards MCH1 over MCH2 (Ki values are 0.16 and 34 nM respectively).

[Ala17]-MCH acetate is a selective ligand for MCHR1 with a Ki of 0.16 nM and Kd of 0.37 nM(Eu3+ chelate-labeled). [Ala17]-MCH acetate shows selectivity over MCHR2 with Ki of 34 nM.
