Background： This gene encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor for melanocyte-stimulating hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone that is expressed in tissues other than the adrenal cortex and melanocytes. This gene maps to the same region as the locus for benign neonatal epilepsy. Mice deficient for this gene have increased fat mass despite decreased food intake, suggesting a role for this gene product in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with a susceptibility to obesity in humans. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Function：function:Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. This receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase.,polymorphism:Genetic variations in MC3R define the body mass index quantitative trait locus 9 (BMIQ9) [MIM:602025]. Variance in body mass index is a susceptibility factor for obesity.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Brain, placental, and gut tissues.,

Subcellular Location：Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Expression：Brain, placental, and gut tissues.
