UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P79166 (P79166)
Gene Name:
MC1R
Organism: Equus caballus (Horse)
Function: Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH (By similarity). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase (By similarity). Mediates melanogenesis, the production of eumelanin (black/brown) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow), via regulation of cAMP signaling in melanocytes (By similarity)
