| Description | Pro-MCH precursor [Cleaved into- - Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH)]. |
| Organism | Oreochromis mossambicus |
| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Actinopterygii; Neopterygii; Teleostei; Euteleostei; Neoteleostei;Acanthomorpha; Acanthopterygii; Percomorpha; Perciformes; Labroidei;Cichlidae; African cichlids; Pseudocrenilabrinae; Tilapiini;Oreochromis. |
| Subcellular Location | NA |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the melanin-concentrating hormone family. |
| Tissue Specificity | NA |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| Function | Plays a role in skin pigmentation by antagonizing the action of melanotropin alpha. Induces melanin concentration within the melanophores. May participate in the control of the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal gland axis by inhibiting the release of ACTH |
