title: Abba Kastin: The melanocyte stimulating hormone story and the future of the proteophathies.
abstract: From a personal viewpoint, Abba was always a congenial colleague and a good friend. I recall the hours of unraveling complex, confusing, and many times contradictory data sets with him and the excitement we both felt as what had been puzzling began to make sense. Most of all, I feel privileged to have Abba as a long and valued friend.
