Description: The neuropeptide alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH) is a thirteen amino acid peptide derived from endopeptidase cleavage of proopiomelanocortin hormone produced by the hypothalamus, monocytes, and retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE). It is a neuropeptide that has an important role in metabolic and immune homeostasis. The neuropeptide suppresses inflammation mediated by both innate and adaptive immune responses . It suppresses NF-κB activation along with p38 MAPK phosphorylation [6–8]. The neuropeptide promotes the alternative activation of endotoxin-stimulated macrophages by inducing IL-10 and TGF-β production. In addition, it suppresses antigen presenting cells (APC) from activating effector T cells while promoting the APC to activate antigen-specific Treg cells.
