Description

Exhibits melanocortin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; energy homeostasis; and negative regulation of feeding behavior. Predicted to localize to integral component of membrane and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in morbid obesity and obesity. Is expressed in brain and myotome. Orthologous to human MC4R (melanocortin 4 receptor).
