ABSTRACT:
The present invention features truncated MCH analogs active at the MCH receptor. The truncated MCH analogs are optionally modified peptide derivatives of mammalian MCH. The analogs can bind to the MCH receptor and, preferably, bring about signal transduction. MCH analogs have a variety of different uses including being used as a research tool and being used therapeutically.
