The encoded protein interacts with adrenocorticotropic and MSH hormones and is mediated by G proteins. This is an intronless gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal dominant obesity. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: Receptor specific to the heptapeptide core common to adrenocorticotropic hormone and alpha-, beta-, and gamma-MSH. Plays a central role in energy homeostasis and somatic growth. This receptor is mediated by G proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase (cAMP). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12646665, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25163632}. |7TM GPCR Srsx| |7tm 1| |melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor activity| |melanocortin receptor activity| |regulation of grooming behavior| |negative regulation of feeding behavior| |diet induced thermogenesis| |negative regulation of behavior| |positive regulation of bone remodeling| |positive regulation of bone resorption| |adaptive thermogenesis| |neuropeptide binding| |response to dietary excess| |regulation of feeding behavior| |positive regulation of tissue remodeling| |insulin secretion| |peptide hormone binding| |regulation of bone resorption| |regulation of bone remodeling| |peptide hormone secretion| |energy reserve metabolic process| |regulation of behavior| |hormone secretion| |regulation of tissue remodeling| |hormone transport| |feeding behavior| |adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway| |cAMP-mediated signaling| |protein secretion| |establishment of protein localization to extracellular region| |protein localization to extracellular region| |signal release| |cyclic-nucleotide-mediated signaling| |peptide secretion| |adenylate cyclase-modulating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway| |response to insulin| |energy derivation by oxidation of organic compounds| |G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway, coupled to cyclic nucleotide second messenger| |ubiquitin protein ligase binding| |second-messenger-mediated signaling| |response to peptide hormone| |generation of precursor metabolites and energy| |response to peptide| |response to nutrient levels| |response to extracellular stimulus| |regulation of hormone levels| |behavior| |response to hormone| |oxidation-reduction process| |response to organonitrogen compound| |secretion by cell| |export from cell| |response to nitrogen compound| |cell-cell signaling| |secretion| |G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway| |response to endogenous stimulus| |protein transport| |peptide transport| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |amide transport| |establishment of protein localization| |intracellular signal transduction| |positive regulation of multicellular organismal process| |nitrogen compound transport| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
