About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for MC2R:
MC2R encodes one member of the five-member G-protein associated melanocortin receptor family. Melanocortins
(melanocyte-stimulating hormones and adrenocorticotropic hormone) are peptides derived from pro-opiomelanocortin
(POMC). MC2R is selectively activated by adrenocorticotropic hormone, whereas the other four melanocortin receptors
recognize a variety of melanocortin ligands. Mutations in MC2R can result in familial glucocorticoid deficiency.
(provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ACTHR_HUMAN, Q01718
Function: Receptor for ACTH. This receptor is mediated by G proteins (G(s)) which activate adenylate cyclase

summary for MC2R:
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.

  • Defects in MC2R are the cause of glucocorticoid deficiency type 1 (GCCD1) [MIM:202200]; also known as familial
  • glucocorticoid deficiency type 1 (FGD1). GCCD1 is an autosomal recessive disorder due to congenital insensitivity or
    resistance to adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). It is characterized by progressive primary adrenal insufficiency, without
    mineralocorticoid deficiency
