Characterization of the Whale Shark (Rhincodon Typus) Melanocortin-2 Receptor [PDF]
, 2021 Among bony vertebrates, the melanocortin-2 receptor ortholog is unique among the family of five melanocortin receptors on the basis that it is dependent on its accessory protein, MRAP1, for trafficking and activation, and is selective for activation by ...

Keeping Balance Between Genetic Stability and Plasticity at the Telomere and Subtelomere of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2021 Telomeres, the nucleoprotein complexes at chromosome ends, are well-known for their essential roles in genome integrity and chromosome stability. Yet, telomeres and subtelomeres are frequently less stable than chromosome internal regions.

Pharmacological modulation of MRAP2 protein on melanocortin receptors in the sea lamprey [PDF]
, 2019 Melanocortin receptors (MCRs) and their accessory proteins (MRA Ps) evolutionarily first appear in the genome of sea lamprey. The most ancient melanocortin system consists of only two melanocortin receptors (slMCa and slMCb) and one MRAP2 (slMRAP2 ...

Effect of age and pregnancy on the murine melanocortin system in the female reproductive system [PDF]
, 2019 The five melanocortin receptors (MC (1-5)) are part of the G-coupled protein receptor (GPCR) family and have been reported to have a role in controlling appetite, modulating inflammation and stress response.

Functional Activation of Cartilaginous Fish Melanocortin Receptors [PDF]
, 2011 The evolution of the melanocortin receptor (MCR) gene family has been dictated by two genome duplication events (2R hypothesis). The gnathostomes are thus predicted to possess a minimum of four MCR genes. Previous studies on cartilaginous fish have shown

Emerging roles of melanocortin receptor accessory proteins (MRAP and MRAP2) in physiology and pathophysiology. [PDF]
, 2020 Melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein (MRAP) has an unusual dual topology and influences the expression, localisation, signalling and internalisation of the melanocortin receptor 2 (MC ); the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) receptor.
