Abstract: Melanocortin 3 and 4 receptors (MC3R and MC4R) are known as the main receptors for melanocortin-induced hypophagia in mammalian and poultry. Also, central glutamatergic system has mediatory role on function of the melanocortin system in… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Melanocortin 4 (MC4) receptors are important drug targets as they regulate energy homeostasis, eating behaviour and sexual functions. The ligand binding process to these G protein‐coupled receptors is subject to considerable complexity. Different steps… read more here.
