Harnessing the melanocortin system to shape the next era of metabolic disease care
At Kalohexis, our expertise in the melanocortin system, the body’s natural regulator of metabolic homeostasis, is driving the development of first- and best-in-class treatments to help people with metabolic disorders, starting with obesity and cancer cachexia, to live healthier lives.
The Melanocortin System: The Body’s Metabolic Thermostat
The central melanocortin system acts like a thermostat and changes the body’s metabolic set-point. Through our differentiated approach to targeting this system, we can dial the thermostat’s set-point up and down and offer new hope to millions of people with metabolic disorders.
