Description
Product Characteristics: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound receptor and member of the melanocortin receptor family. The encoded protein interacts with adrenocorticotropic and MSH hormones and is mediated by G proteins. This is an intronless gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal dominant obesity.,MC4R,Cancer,Signal Transduction,G protein signaling,G-Protein-Coupled Receptors(GPCR),Endocrine & Metabolism,Lipid Metabolism,Cholesterol Metabolism,Endocrine and metabolic diseases,Obesity,Neuroscience,Cardiovascular,Lipids,MC4R
