About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for MC1R:
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. Gene mutations that lead to a loss in function are associated with increased
pheomelanin production, which leads to lighter skin and hair color. Eumelanin is photoprotective but pheomelanin may
contribute to UV-induced skin damage by generating free radicals upon UV radiation. Binding of MSH to its receptor
activates the receptor and stimulates eumelanin synthesis. This receptor is a major determining factor in sun
sensitivity and is a genetic risk factor for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. Over 30 variant alleles have been
identified which correlate with skin and hair color, providing evidence that this gene is an important component in
determining normal human pigment variation. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MSHR_HUMAN, Q01726
Function: Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins
which activate adenylate cyclase

summary for MC1R:
Melanocortin receptors are activated by members of the melanocortin family: alpha-, beta- and
gamma-melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Endogenous antagonists
include agouti and agouti-related protein (AgRP). The melanocortin receptors are G-protein-coupled and 5
subtypes exist, MC1-5. The melanocortins are involved in a wide range of physiological functions, including
pigmentation, energy homeostasis, inflammation, immunomodulation, steroidogenesis and temperature control.

    UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: MSHR_HUMAN, Q01726
    Polymorphism: Genetic variants in MC1R define the skin/hair/eye pigmentation variation locus 2 (SHEP2) [MIM:266300].
    Hair, eye and skin pigmentation are among the most visible examples of human phenotypic variation, with a broad normal
    range that is subject to substantial geographic stratification. In the case of skin, individuals tend to have lighter
    pigmentation with increasing distance from the equator, with type I skin being the most lightly pigmented and type IV
    the most dark pigmented. By contrast, the majority of variation in human eye and hair color is found among individuals
    of European ancestry, with most other human populations fixed for brown eyes and black hair. Partial loss-of-function
    mutations are associated with fair skin, poor tanning and increased skin cancer risk
    Polymorphism: MC1R variants associated with red hair and fair skin, determine female-specific increased analgesia from
    kappa-opioid receptor agonist [MIM:613098]

  • Genetic variations in MC1R are a cause of susceptibility to cutaneous malignant melanoma type 5 (CMM5)
  • [MIM:613099]. Malignant melanoma is a malignant neoplasm of melanocytes, arising de novo or from a pre-existing benign
    nevus, which occurs most often in the skin but also may involve other sites
