Description générale
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a circulating 19-amino acid residue cyclic neuropeptide present in hypothalamus. In mammals, MCH is a, encoded by the precursor pro-melanin concentrating hormone (PMCH). It was first discovered in fish and subsequently in mammalian (rat). MCH perikarya is confined largely to the lateral hypothalamus area (LHA) and the adjacent zon incerta with extensive neuronal projections throughout the brain. MCH is detected in basal ganglia, neocortex, cerebellum, thymus, brown adipose tissue, duodenum, and testis. The structure of MCH is highly conserved among species.
Immunogène
synthetic peptide corresponding to human melanin-concentrating hormone conjugated to KLH. The MCH sequence is identical in many species including rat, mouse, and pig.
Application
Anti-MCH antibody may be used at a working dilution of 1:30000 for RIA. For immunohistochemistry of mouse hypothalamus sections, a working antibody dilution of 1:200 may be used. The antibody has been used for immunoblotting in cytoplasmic extracts of T cells at a concentration of 5.7 μg/ml. The antibody is suitable for protein microarray.
Anti-MCH antibody produced in rabbit has been used in radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry.
Actions biochimiques/physiologiques
MCH mRNA is overexpressed and up-regulated during fasting in the hypothalamus of ob/ob mice as well as rats. Injection of MCH into the lateral ventricles in rats promote increased food consumption. In addition, knockout mice lacking MCH gene are lean and hypophagic and show an increase in metabolic rate. In contrast, overexpression of MCH in transgenic mice leads to obesity and insulin resistance.
Forme physique
Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic peptide originally identified as a 17-amino-acid circulating hormone in teleost fish, where it is secreted by the pituitary in response to stress and environmental stimuli. In fish, MCH lightens skin color by stimulating aggregation

Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic peptide which was originally discovered in fish to lighten skin color by affecting melanosomes aggregation. This peptide is highly conserved and also found in rodents whose gene is overexpressed upon fasting. However, the site
