Description
The MC4R gene (melanocortin 4 receptor) [HGNC Gene ID:6932] is located on chromosome 18q22. The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound receptor and member of the melanocortin receptor family. The encoded protein interacts with adrenocorticotropic and MSH hormones and is mediated by G proteins. This is an intronless gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal dominant obesity.
