UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q864J5 (Q864J5)
Gene Name:
MC1R
Organism: Macaca nigra (Celebes black macaque)
Function: Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Mediates melanogenesis, the production of eumelanin (black/brown) and phaeomelanin (red/yellow), via regulation of cAMP signaling in melanocytes
Other Modifications: View all modification sites in dbPTM
Protein Subcellular Localization: Cell membrane
