Podocyte Melanocortin 1 Receptor Mediated Signaling
… through cells in the glomerulus. Thus, the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) was found to be colocalizing with the podocyte marker synaptopodin. Treatment with MC1R specific agonists had beneficial effects in an experimental model of membranous nephropathy, Passive Heymann Nephritis (PHN). The …

The mechanisms underlying convergent evolution in the plumage patterns of birds
… quail is likely due to activation of the melanocortin-1 receptor, which is a highly conserved pathway in vertebrates. I examined whether a reaction-diffusion based theoretical model of pattern formation may predict developmental constraint in two groups that have different lifestyles and …

The genetic basis of plumage polymorphism in the black sparrowhawk
… in the coding regions of the melanogenesis genes melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), agouti signalling protein (ASIP), or proopiomelanocortin (POMC). However, the expression levels of several genes involved in melanogenesis differed between the two morphs, with light morph developing breast feathers …

Exercise-induced alterations in melanocortin receptor expression and inflammation
… novel in that it explores the expression of the melanocortin receptors (MCR) on the plasma membranes of systemic monocytes, indicating a novel role for the MCRs as anti-inflammatory receptors that are regulated by chronic exercise training. The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) and melanocortin 3 …
