Gene: Mc4r (melanocortin 4 receptor) Rattus norvegicus
Analyze
Symbol: Mc4r
Name: melanocortin 4 receptor
RGD ID: 3057
Description: Enables melanocortin receptor activity and peptide hormone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including diet induced thermogenesis; negative regulation of feeding behavior; and regulation of grooming behavior. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Used to study obesity. Biomarker of obesity and sciatic neuropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in morbid obesity and obesity. Orthologous to human MC4R (melanocortin 4 receptor); PARTICIPATES IN altered energy homeostasis pathway; altered melanocortin system pathway; G protein mediated signaling pathway via Galphas family; INTERACTS WITH 2,2',4,4'-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 6-propyl-2-thiouracil.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: VALIDATED
Previously known as: MC4-R; melanocortin receptor 4
