Cloning and expression of melanin-concentrating hormone genes in the rainbow trout brain.

Human hypocretin and melanin-concentrating hormone levels are linked to emotion and social interaction.

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic neuropeptide of nineteen amino acids in mammals.

Effects of leptin on melanin-concentrating hormone expression in the brain of lean and obese lepob/lepob mice.

Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor (MCHR)

Key words: melanin-concentrating hormone, melanin-concentrating hormone receptor, SLC-1, food intake, obesity.

Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1, also known as MCH, is one of the human melanin-concentrating hormone receptors.

The study involved counting the number of hypothalamic neurons producing orexin, melanin-concentrating hormone and histamine in seven narcolepsy patients and 12 patients that served as a control group.

Two Melanin-concentrating hormone receptors (MCHR) have recently been characterized: MCH-R1 and MCH-R2.

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic 19-amino acid orexigenic hypothalamic peptide originally isolated from the pituitary gland of teleost fish where it controls skin pigmentation.

The role of ASIP's binding to MC1R in regulating this adaptation is unclear; however, in teleost fish at least, functional antagonism is provided by melanin-concentrating hormone.

There also were chemical changes in the way the mice's bodies regulated the release of another stress hormone, called corticotropin-releasing factor, as well as melanin-concentrating hormone and orexin, hormones thought to control eating behavior.

Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 2 (MCH) also known as G-protein coupled receptor 145 (GPR145) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MCHR2 gene.

The primary hormones involved in regulating translocation appear to be the melanocortins, melatonin, and melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), that are produced mainly in the pituitary, pineal gland, and hypothalamus, respectively.
