11-SEPTEMBER-2008 12:20:15 - Melanocortin receptor Melanocortin receptors are members of the rhodopsin family of 7-transmembrane, G-protein coupled receptors. There are five members of the melanocortin receptor system1 each with differing specificities for melanocortins: MC1R. Mc1r is associated with pigmentation genetics. MC2R. It is also known as the ACTH receptor or corticotropin receptor because it is specific for ACTH alone. MC3R MC4R. Defects in MC4R are a cause of autosomal dominant obesity, accounting for 6% of all cases of early-onset obesity.2 MC5R These receptors are inhibited by endogenous antagonists agouti signaling protein and agouti-related protein3 and activated by endogenous agonist melanocyte-stimulating hormone.4 References ^ Melanocortins and the Melanocortin Receptor ^ Farooqi IS, Keogh JM, Yeo GS, Lank EJ, Cheetham T, O'Rahilly S 2003.
