Storage Instruction
The whole kit may be stored at-20°C for up to 12 months from receipt. An unopened kit may be stored in the fridge at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. Once opened store individual kit contents according to components table provided with the kit.
Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides. O-glycosylated.reducing sugar is probably N-acetylgalactosamine.
Function
Corticotropin: Stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone alpha: Anorexigenic peptide. Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone beta: Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. Beta-endorphin: Endogenous orexigenic opiate. Met-enkephalin: Endogenous opiate.
SecretedMelanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Alpha And Beta-Endorphin Are Stored In Separate Granules In Hypothalamic Pomc NeuronsSuggesting That Secretion May Be Under The Control Of Different Regulatory Mechanisms
