The Impact of Melanocortin Receptor Ligands on Astrocyte Signalling and Metabolism
Melanocortin peptides, which act on melanocortin receptors (MCRs), play multifaceted roles in the body through various tissues and mechanisms that regulate physiological functions. MCRs, comprising a family of five subtypes (MC1R to MC5R), are 7-transmembrane receptors that can couple with G …

The Multifunctional Melanocortin System in the Human Choroid
… melanin in response to UV exposure, mediated by melanocortin ligand-receptor (α-MSH/MC1R) signalling. The neuropeptide alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) activates melanocortin receptors (MC1R to MC5R) and receptor accessory proteins (MRAPs), forming the melanocortin system. α-MSH can …
