MSH (Alpha)

Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH) is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It plays a significant role in regulating pigmentation in the skin, appetite control, and energy homeostasis. MSH influences the production of melanin in melanocytes, affecting skin color, and has also been linked to the body's response to stress and inflammation.
