UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q01727 (Q01727)
Gene Name:
Mc1r
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH (PubMed:1325670). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase (PubMed:1325670). Mediates melanogenesis, the production of eumelanin (black/brown) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow), via regulation of cAMP signaling in melanocytes (By similarity)
