recommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Cellular Physiology"

DOI: 10.1002/jcp.30321

Abstract: The melanocortin receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2) plays an essential role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis and deletion of which results in severe obesity syndrome in mice and human. Mammalian MRAP2 is recognized as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2019.113234

Abstract: Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and melanocortin receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2) play important roles in the melanocortin system, and interaction of MC4R and MRAP2 is suggested to play pivotal role in energy balance of vertebrates. Orange-spotted… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Nature Communications"

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00747-6

Abstract: Ghrelin is the only known circulating orexigenic hormone. It is primarily secreted by the stomach and acts at its receptor, the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), in the hypothalamus to signal hunger and promote… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biom11030481

Abstract: The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) plays an important role in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. Melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2) modulates trafficking, ligand binding, and signaling of MC4R. The Northern snakehead (Channa… read more here.
