Summary: (from NCBI-Entrez) ..[read more]This intronless gene encodes the receptor protein for melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). The encoded protein, a seven pass transmembrane G protein coupled receptor, controls melanogenesis. Two types of melanin exist: red pheomelanin and black eumelanin
Accessory proteins for melanocortin signaling: attractin and mahogunin.
