促肾上腺皮质激素受体

促肾上腺皮质激素受体 Background: 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. Also known as: ACTH receptor; ACTH-R; ACTHR; ACTHR_HUMAN; Adrenocorticotropic hormone receptor; Adrenocorticotropin receptor; Corticotropin receptor; MC2 receptor; MC2-R; MC2R; Melanocortin 2 receptor (adrenocorticotropic hormone); Melanocortin 2 receptor; Melanocortin receptor 2.促肾上腺皮质激素受体
