Melanotrophs

Known as: Pituitary Melanotropin-Producing Cell, Pituitary MSH-Producing Cells, MSH-Producing Cells, Pituitary 
Neuroendocrine cells in the INTERMEDIATE LOBE OF PITUITARY. They produce MELANOCYTE STIMULATING HORMONES and other peptides from the post…

The heterotrimeric Gi(3) protein acts in slow but not in fast exocytosis of rat melanotrophs.
Besides having a role in signal transduction some trimeric G-proteins may be involved in a late stage of exocytosis. Using…

Ontogeny of basal and regulated proopiomelanocortin-derived peptide secretion from fetal and neonatal pituitary intermediate lobe cells: melanotrophs exhibit transient glucocorticoid responses during…
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-producing cells comprise nearly 100% of the adult rat intermediate lobe (IL) hormone-producing cells…

Mechanism of action of gamma-aminobutyric acid on frog melanotrophs.
We have previously demonstrated that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a potent regulator of secretory and electrical activity in…

Effects of Bay K 8644 and other dihydropyridines on basal and potassium-evoked output of MSH from mouse melanotrophs in vitro.
Dihydropyridines that have been shown in studies on other tissues either to facilitate Ca influx (BAY K 8644) or depress it…

[Nle4, D-Phe7]-alpha-MSH: a superpotent melanotropin that "irreversibly" activates melanoma tyrosinase.
The superpotent and ultraprolonged melanotropic properties of an alpha-melanotropin analog, [Nle4, D-Phe7]-alpha-MSH, were…
