UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P47798 (P47798)
Gene Name:
MC1R
Organism: Bos taurus (Bovine)
Function: Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta) and ACTH (PubMed:8034052). Does not seem to be active with gamma-MSH (PubMed:8034052). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase (PubMed:8034052). Mediates melanogenesis, the production of eumelanin (black/brown) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow), via regulation of cAMP signaling in melanocytes (By similarity)

Protein Subcellular Localization: Cell membrane
