melanocortin receptor 5; MC5-R; MC-2 (MC5R)

Function: - receptor for MSH-alpha, MSH-beta & MSH-gamma & ACTH - activity is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase - possible mediator of the immunomodulation properties of melanocortins Structure: belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family Compartment: cell membrane Expression: expressed in the brain Pathology: not expressed in melanoma cells
