Product Overview
Research Use OnlyMelanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a 19 amino acid cyclic neuropeptide,which is mainly expressed in the hypothalamus. MCH modulates feeding behavior, aggression, anxiety, arousal and reproductive function in mammals by controlling the release of luteinizing hormone (LH). The melanin-concentrating hormone receptor (MCHR, also designated SLC-1) is a glycosylated G-protein coupled receptor that migrates between 45-50 kDa on SDS-PAGE.
