Melanin Concentrating Hormone, salmon is a 19-amino-acid neuropeptide initially identified in the pituitary gland of teleost fish, which regulates food intake, energy balance, sleep state, and the cardiovascular system. Melanin-concentrating hormone is a ligand for an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (SLC-1/GPR24) and MCHR2.
An orphan G protein-coupled receptor (SLC-1/GPR24) has been identified as a receptor for MCH (MCHR1). MCHR2 has higher protein sequence homology to MCHR1 than any other G protein-coupled receptor. MCHR2 is specifically activated by nanomolar concentrations of MCH, binds to MCH with high affinity, and signals through Gq protein[1].
Melanin Concentrating Hormone stimulates appetite. Continuous infusion of Melanin Concentrating Hormone into the ventricular system increases food intake for 7-8 days[2]. Intracerebroventricular infusion of Melanin Concentrating Hormone (10 μg/day) causes a slight but significant increase in body weight in mice maintained on the regular diet. Chronic stimulation of the brain Melanin Concentrating Hormone system could cause obesity in mice[3].
