GO Classification
Functions
  • melanocortin receptor activity
  • hormone binding
Processes
  • G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway, coupled to cyclic nucleotide second messenger
  • positive regulation of cAMP biosynthetic process
Components
  • integral component of plasma membrane
  • plasma membrane
General FunctionMelanocortin receptor activity
Specific FunctionReceptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. This receptor is a possible mediator of the immunomodulation properties of melanocortins.
