Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Receptor
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor (317 aa, ~35 kDa) is encoded by the human MC1R gene. This protein plays a role in both hormone binding and melanogenesis.

Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Mammalian keratinocytes compose the bulk of the epithelium, undergo keratinization, and form the dead superficial layer of the skin. These superficial keratinized cells are continuously replaced by cells derived from mitotic cells in the lowest layer of ...

It is estimated that melanoma accounted for 76,380 new cases and 10,130 deaths in the United States in 2016. The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is highly expressed in the vast majority of melanomas, which makes it an attractive target for molecular ...

Development of Radiopharmaceutical Composition for Radionuclide Diagnostics of Malignant Melanoma
Introduction. Skin cancers came first in Russia in numbers of oncological diseases. Melanoma, making up only a small part of these cases, leads to the most serious consequences.

3,6‐Anhydro‐l‐galactose (l‐AHG) is a bioactive sugar that is a major component of agarose. Recently, l‐AHG was reported to have anti‐melanogenic potential in human epidermal melanocytes (HEMs) and B16F10 melanoma cells; however, its underlying molecular ...

α-Melanocyte stimulating hormone promotes muscle glucose uptake via melanocortin 5 receptors
Objective: Central melanocortin pathways are well-established regulators of energy balance. However, scant data exist about the role of systemic melanocortin peptides. We set out to determine if peripheral α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) plays a

The α-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (αMSH)/Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) interaction promotes melanogenesis through the cAMP/PKA pathway. The direct induction of this pathway by Forskolin (FSK) is also known to enhance melanocyte proliferation.
