Summary

Name MC4R
Full Name Melanocortin receptor 4
Synonyms MC4-R
Primary ID P32245
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 27
Pathways Leptin Signaling
Function Receptor specific to the heptapeptide core common to adrenocorticotropic hormone and alpha-, beta-, and gamma-MSH. Plays a central role in energy homeostasis and somatic growth. This receptor is mediated by G proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase (cAMP).
