Human mast cells have been shown to release histamine in response to the neuropeptide α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), but it is unknown whether these cells express proopiomelanocortin (POMC) or POMC-derived peptides. We therefore examined highly purified human skin mast cells and a leukemic mast cell line-1 (HMC-1) for their ability to ex...
