Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 4157
Gene name Melanocortin 1 receptor
Gene symbol MC1R
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CMM5MSH-RSHEP2
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16q24.3
Summary This intronless gene encodes the receptor protein for melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). The encoded protein, a seven pass transmembrane G protein coupled receptor, controls melanogenesis. Two types of melanin exist: red pheomelanin and black eumelanin
