[Target]

Melanocortin 4 receptor[1]

[In Vitro]

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) (4-10), human (ACTH (4-10)) is the core sequence of all melanocortins and binds selectively to MC4-R. In humans, ACTH (4-10) enters the cerebral fluid compartment after intranasal application and leads to a decrease in total body fat after 6 weeks of continuous treatment[1].
