MC5-R rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Backgroud: This gene encodes a member of the seven-pass transmembrane G protein-coupled melanocortin receptor protein family that stimulate cAMP signal transduction. The encoded protein is a receptor for melanocyte-stimulating hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone and is suggested to play a role in sebum generation. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010],function:Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. This receptor is a possible mediator of the immunomodulation properties of melanocortins.,online information:Melanocortin receptor entry,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in the brain but not in the melanoma cells.,
