MRAP

Gene
MRAP
Protein
Melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
172 amino acids
Function
Modulator of melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC2R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R). Acts by increasing ligand-sensitivity of melanocortin receptors and enhancing generation of cAMP by the receptors. Required both for MC2R trafficking to the cell surface of adrenal cells and for signaling in response to corticotropin (ACTH). May be involved in the intracellular trafficking pathways in adipocyte cells.
Similarity
Belongs to the MRAP family.
