Tridecactide is a 13-amino acid peptide derived from proteolytic cleavage of Adrenocorticotropic hormone at the N-terminal 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 granules. Alpha-MSH stimulates the synthesis and distribution of melanin in Melanocytes in mammals and Melanophores in lower vertebrates.
