Overview

Modulator of melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC2R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R). Acts by increasing ligand-sensitivity of melanocortin receptors and enhancing generation of cAMP by the receptors. Required both for MC2R trafficking to the cell surface of adrenal cells and for signaling in response to corticotropin (ACTH). May be involved in the intracellular trafficking pathways in adipocyte cells (By similarity).

Molecular Function

Brown fat cell differentiation; Positive regulation of cAMP biosynthetic process; Protein localization to cell surface

Subcellular Location

Single-pass membrane protein; Endoplasmic Reticulum membrane

Expression

Largely restricted to fat tissues. Predominantly expressed in mouse epididymal (white adipose tissue) and interscapular (brown adipose tissue) fat pads. Expression is weak or absent in lung, spleen, intestine, kidney, heart and skeletal muscle.

Structure

Homodimer and heterodimer. Forms antiparallel homodimers and heterodimers with MRAP2. Interacts with MC1R, MC2R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R (By similarity).
