Function
G protein-coupled receptor for melanocyte-stimulating hormones (alpha- beta- and gamma-MSH) and corticotropin/ACTH, which are peptide products of the POMC precursor. Upon activation, couples to G(s) protein, stimulating adenylate cyclase and the cAMP-dependent signaling pathway. Also activates ERK1/2 via a PI3K-dependent signaling mechanism.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in the brain but not in the melanoma cells
