Scientific Background: | The melanocortin receptors are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. Their ligands, the melanocortins, are peptides consisting of α-, β- and γ-melanocyte stimulating hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone. MC2R is only activated by ACTH. It is expressed gene is expressed in skin, scalp tissue, compound nevus tissue, basal cell carcinoma tissue, and cultured melanocytes. |
