A 13-amino acid peptide derived from proteolytic cleavage of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE, the N-terminal segment of ACTH. ACTH (1-13) is amidated at the C-terminal to form ACTH (1-13)NH2 which in turn is acetylated to form alpha-MSH in the secretory gran      Other names alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone; MSH, alpha; alpha Melanotropin; alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone; alpha MSH; alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone, Desacetyl; alpha-MSH, Desacetyl; MSH, Des-Acetyl; Hormone, alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating; Hormone, Desacetyl alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating; Desacetyl alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone; Desacetyl alpha MSH; alpha-Melanotropin; MSH, (Desacetyl)alpha; Desacetyl alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone; Desacetyl alpha-MSH; Des-Acetyl MSH; DE-alpha-MSH; Adrenocorticotropin (1-13)NH2; Acetylated ACTH (1-13)NH2
