Germline MC1R status influences somatic mutation burden in melanoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The major genetic determinants of cutaneous melanoma risk in the general population are disruptive variants (R alleles) in the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene.

The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2025/26: G protein‐coupled receptors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue S1, Page S24-S151, December 2025.
The Concise Guide to Pharmacology 2025/26 marks the seventh edition in this series of biennial publications in the British Journal of Pharmacology. Presented in landscape format, the guide provides a comparative overview of the pharmacology of drug target families. The concise nature of the Concise Guide refers to the style of presentation, being clear,

Anti‐melanogenic effects of Medicago sativa seed extracts on melanocytes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1005-1016, December 2025.
Our study demonstrated that two types of alfalfa seed extract: alfalfa ethanol precipitate (AEP) and alfalfa ethanol supernatant (AES) inhibited melanogenesis through the downregulation of tyrosinase expression, following the inactivation of CREB, b‐catenin and ERK signalling pathway in α‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (α‐MSH)‐stimulated B16F10 mouse ...

Involvement of the melanocortin-1 receptor in acute pain and pain of inflammatory but not neuropathic origin.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundResponse to painful stimuli is susceptible to genetic variation. Numerous loci have been identified which contribute to this variation, one of which, MC1R, is better known as a gene involved in mammalian hair colour. MC1R is a G protein-coupled

Hierarchical modeling of melanocortin 1 receptor variants with skin cancer risk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The human MC1R gene is highly polymorphic among lightly pigmented populations, and several variants in the MC1R gene have been associated with increased risk of both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers. The functional consequences of MC1R gene variants

The Alpaca Melanocortin 1 Receptor: Gene Mutations, Transcripts, and Relative Levels of Expression in Ventral Skin Biopsies

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2015
The objectives of the present study were to characterize the MC1R gene, its transcripts and the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with coat color in alpaca. Full length cDNA amplification revealed the presence of two transcripts, named as

Evolution of the melanocortin-1 receptor gene (MC1R) in chamois (Rupicapra spp.)

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2013
The taxonomy of chamois and the effects of historical and evolutionary events on its diversification are still under discussion given that different morphological and genetic features presented partially discordant views. One of the morphological features that differentiate the two currently considered species, Rupicapra pyrenaica (southern chamois ...

A Genomic Exploration of the Possible De‐Extirpation of the Zanzibar Leopard

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The recently extirpated Zanzibar leopard was the only known African leopard (Panthera pardus spp.) population restricted exclusively to a major island habitat. Although its demise was driven through habitat change and conflict with humans, given its role as a keystone species for the Zanzibar Archipelago, its successful potential ...

Identifying the Degree of Gene Reuse During Repeated Adaptation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The degree or extent of gene reuse during repeated adaptation offers key insights into the genomic constraints on evolution. Although many studies have identified signs of genomic repeatability, a thorough synthesis of methods for detecting gene reuse and estimating its extent is missing. In this review, we first propose a simple framework for

Histologic and phenotypic factors and MC1R status associated with BRAF(V600E), BRAF(V600K), and NRAS mutations in a community-based sample of 414 cutaneous melanomas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cutaneous melanomas arise through causal pathways involving interplay between exposure to UV radiation and host factors, resulting in characteristic patterns of driver mutations in BRAF, NRAS, and other genes.
