Antimicrobial Properties of α-MSH and Related Synthetic Melanocortins

Antimicrobial Properties of α-MSH and Related Synthetic Melanocortins

The natural antimicrobial peptides are ancient host defense effector molecules, present in organisms across the evolutionary spectrum. Several properties of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) suggested that it could be a natural antimicrobial peptide. α-MSH is a primordial peptide that appeare...
