Note

  • general or unspecified; prefer specifics

Scope note

  • A family of G-protein-coupled receptors that have specificity for MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONES and ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. There are several subtypes of melanocortin receptors, each having a distinct ligand specificity profile and tissue localization.

History note

  • 2004; use RECEPTORS, MELANOCORTIN (NM) 1994-2003
