1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

Melanin Concentrating Hormone, salmon functions by binding to and activating melanin-concentrating hormone receptors (MCHR1 and MCHR2) in target tissues. In fish, this binding primarily triggers intracellular signaling cascades that lead to melanosome aggregation within pigment cells, resulting in skin lightening. Additionally, MCH modulates neurotransmitter release and neuronal activity in hypothalamic circuits involved in appetite regulation and energy balance. The peptide's activity is mediated through G-protein coupled receptor signaling, influencing cAMP levels, calcium mobilization, and downstream effector pathways. The salmon-specific sequence exhibits distinct receptor binding properties compared to mammalian MCH, making it valuable for comparative pharmacological studies.
