Entrez ID 4161
Gene name Melanocortin 5 receptor
Gene symbol MC5R
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
MC2
Chromosome 18
Chromosome location 18p11.21
Summary This gene encodes a member of the seven-pass transmembrane G protein-coupled melanocortin receptor protein family that stimulate cAMP signal transduction. The encoded protein is a receptor for melanocyte-stimulating hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone
