MCHR1 (GPR24)

MCHR1 antagonists block melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHR1), a G protein-coupled receptor. Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a cyclic neuropeptide made mainly by neurons of the lateral hypothalamus. In 1999 two groups identified MCH as the ligand of an orphan receptor, now called MCHR1 or G protein-coupled receptor 24 (GPR24). Mice lacking MCH were hypophagic and lean in a 1998 study, which linked the peptide to feeding and energy balance. Antagonists are used in rodent models of food intake, body weight, anxiety and mood. SNAP 94847, NGD-4715 and BMS-819881 are listed MCHR1 antagonists, together with ATC0065 and SB-568849.

    A61609

    Ac-hMCH(6-16)-NH2

    Ac-hMCH(6-16)-NH2 is a non-selective agonist targeting the human melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) receptors, specifically MCH-1R and MCH-2R, with IC50 values of 0.16 nM and 2.7 nM, respectively. This compound effectively activates both receptor subtypes in the brain, making it a valuable tool for studying the physiological roles of MCH signaling. Research applications include investigations into metabolic regulation, feeding behavior, and neuroendocrine function.
