Summary

Name MC1R
Full Name Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor
Synonyms MSH-R, Melanocortin receptor 1, MC1-R | MSHR
Primary ID Q01726

Type protein
Relations 22
Function Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH (PubMed:1325670, PubMed:8463333, PubMed:1516719, PubMed:11442765, PubMed:11707265). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase (PubMed:1325670, PubMed:11707265, PubMed:16463023, PubMed:19737927). Mediates melanogenesis, the production of eumelanin (black/brown) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow), via regulation of cAMP signaling in melanocytes (PubMed:31097585).
