About MC2R

Cytogenetic location: 18p11.21 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 18:13,882,044-13,915,707 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 178 orthologues, 18 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward adrenal (RPKM 16.0).

Summary

MC2R encodes one member of the five-member G-protein associated Melanocortin Receptor family. Melanocortins (melanocyte-stimulating Hormones and adrenocorticotropic hormone) are Peptides derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). MC2R is selectively activated by adrenocorticotropic hormone, whereas the other four melanocortin receptors recognize a variety of melanocortin ligands. Mutations in MC2R can result in familial glucocorticoid deficiency. Alternate transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
