MSH Release-Inhibiting Hormone

A hypothalamic tripeptide, enzymatic degradation product of OXYTOCIN, that inhibits the release of MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONES.

Also Known As:

MIF-I; H-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2; MIF-1; Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Release-Inhibiting Factor; Melanostatin; Oxytocin (7-9); Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2; Pro-Leu-Glyamide; Prol-Leu-Gly-NH2; Prolylleucylglycinamide; Prol Leu Gly NH2; Prolyl Leucyl Glycinamide; MSH Release-Inhibiting Factor; Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Release-Inhibiting Hormone; Prolyl-Leucyl-Glycinamide
