mrap2a

Gene
mrap2a
Protein
Melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein 2A
Organism
Danio rerio
Length
217 amino acids
Function
Inhibitor of melanocortin receptor 4 (mc4r), a receptor involved in energy homeostasis. Plays a role during larval development in the control of energy homeostasis and body weight regulation by decreasing ligand-sensitivity of mc4r and mc4r-mediated generation of cAMP, leading to stimulate growth during larval development. Acts by stabilizing an inactive conformation of mc4r during embryonic development, when all the energy consumed is obtained from the yolk sac, possibly to speed the rapid maturation to the mobile free-feeding juvenile stage reached at 5 dpf.
Similarity
Belongs to the MRAP family.
Mass
24.354 kDa
