1 While ACTH, alpha-MSH and the synthetic alpha-MSH analogue Nle4DPhe7 alpha-MSH all stimulate the activity of tyrosinase, the rate limiting enzyme in melanogenesis, and all produce a 50% increase in the melanin content of the cells at a concentration of 10(-8)-10(-7) mol/l, the shapes of the dose response curves differ: those for the MSH peptides are sigmoidal while those for ACTH are biphasic.
