Data for amino acid alignment of Japanese stingray melanocortin receptors with other gnathostome melanocortin receptor sequences, and the ligand selectivity of Japanese stingray melanocortin receptors

Data in Brief, 2016
This article contains structure and pharmacological characteristics of melanocortin receptors (MCRs) related to research published in “Characterization of melanocortin receptors from stingray Dasyatis akajei, a cartilaginous fish” (Takahashi et al., 2016)

Anti-melanocortin-4 receptor autoantibodies in obesity [PDF]

, 2009
Background: The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is part of an important pathway regulating energy balance. Here we report the existence of autoantibodies (autoAbs) against the MC4R in sera of obese patients.

The Importance of Melanocortin Receptors and Their Agonists in Pulmonary Disease

Frontiers in Medicine, 2019
Melanocortin agonists are ancient neuropeptides that have steroidogenesis and anti-inflammatory properties. They activate melanocortin receptors (MCR), a family of five seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors. MC1R and MC3R are mainly involved in

Feinkartierung einer Kopplungsregion auf Chromosom 10p für frühmanifeste Adipositas mittels sieben Mikrosatellitenmarkern an 123 Familien bestehend aus mindestens zwei adipösen Geschwistern und ihren Eltern. [PDF]

, 2002
Im Rahmen der Suche nach genetischen Ursachen des komplexen Phänotyps Adipositas wurde von einer französischen Arbeitsgruppe eine Kopplungsregion für extreme Adipositas auf Chromosom 10p12 identifiziert (Hager et al. 1998).

Observations on the evolution of the melanocortin receptor gene family: distinctive features of the melanocortin-2 receptor

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
The melanocortin receptors are a gene family in the rhodopsin class of G protein-coupled receptors. Based on the analysis of several metazoan genome databases it appears that the melanocortin receptors are only found in chordates.

Promiscuity among the MRAPs. [PDF]

, 2017
The melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein (MRAP) was originally discovered to be an essential co-receptor for the ACTH receptor/melanocortin 2 receptor, and it physically interacts with this receptor and is required for receptor trafficking and ...

Evolution of sex-specific pace-of-life syndromes: genetic architecture and physiological mechanisms [PDF]

, 2018
Sex differences in life history, physiology, and behavior are nearly ubiquitous across taxa, owing to sex-specific selection that arises from different reproductive strategies of the sexes.
