mrap2b

Gene
mrap2b
Protein
Melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein 2B
Organism
Danio rerio
Length
199 amino acids
Function
Activator of melanocortin receptor 4 (mc4r), a receptor involved in energy homeostasis. Plays a role after larval development in the control of energy homeostasis and body weight regulation by increasing ligand-sensitivity of mc4r and mc4r-mediated generation of cAMP once the zebrafish begins feeding, increasing the capacity for regulated feeding and growth.
Similarity
Belongs to the MRAP family.
Mass
22.563 kDa
