| Description |
Alpha-MSH (alpha melanocyte-stimulating hormone) is an ancient tridecapeptide with potent inhibitory activity in all major forms of inflammation. ACTH has structural similarities to alpha-MSH. ACTH and alpha-MSH can induce grooming, stretching, yawning, penile erection responses in male rats, site of action in the brain and role of melanocortin receptors.

| Notes |
Alpha-MSH is derived from ACTH 1-13. Alpha-MSH is a hormone that stimulates melanogenesis and facilitates learning and memory. Alpha-MSH can affect inflammatory and immune responses and peripheral nerve regeneration.
