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]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: 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}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |7TM GPCR Srsx| |7tm 1| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |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| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='default' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> No hits were found. </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 7559 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: -7.68 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='MC4R Expression in NALM6 Cells: -7.68'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2025/12/10 20:19by 127.0.0.1
