The interaction of MC3R and MC4R with MRAP2, ACTH, α-MSH and AgRP in chickens [PDF]

Journal of Endocrinology, 2017
The interaction of melanocortin-4 (MC4R) and melanocortin-3 (MC3R) receptors with proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides (e.g. α-MSH), agouti-related protein (AgRP) and melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2) is suggested to play critical roles in energy balance of vertebrates.

KNDy neurons as an indirect target of insulin‐like growth factor‐1

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH) that coexpress kisspeptin, neurokinin B, and dynorphin (KNDy neurons) are considered the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator necessary for fertility. KNDy neurons are also metabolic sensors controlling the hypothalamic–pituitary‐gonadal (HPG) axis.

Targeting central melanocortin receptors: a promising novel approach for treating alcohol abuse disorders

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
The melanocortin (MC) peptides are produced centrally by propiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons within the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus and act through five seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled melanocortin receptor (MCR) subtypes.

Extracellular LCN2 Binding to 24p3R in Astrocytes Impedes α‐Synuclein Endocytosis in Parkinson's Disease

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 39, October 20, 2025.
24p3R is an astrocytic receptor for α‐Syn uptake. When LCN2 is secreted from astrocytes, it binds to its receptor 24p3R in astrocytes and this binding impedes the α‐Syn PFF binding to 24p3R. This in turn inhibits 24p3R‐mediated α‐Syn PFF uptake and reduces the clearance of extracellular α‐Syn by astrocytes, which contributes to α‐Syn spread and ...
