CC -!- FUNCTION: Plays a role in skin pigmentation by antagonizing the CC action of melanotropin alpha. Induces melanin concentration within CC the melanophores. May participate in the control of the CC hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal gland axis by inhibiting the release CC of ACTH. CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Pituitary gland. Produced in neurons of CC lateral basal hypothalamus which project both to the brain and to CC the neural lobe of the pituitary gland from where MCH is released. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the melanin-concentrating hormone family. CC {ECO:0000305}.
