Gene Symbol:

MRAP2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein 2

Synonyms:

C6orf117, bA51G5.2, melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein 2, MC2R accessory protein 2

Genomic Location:

Chr 6: 84800139-84857325

Description:

This gene encodes a protein that modulates melanocortin receptor signaling. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with all known melanocortin receptors and may regulate both receptor trafficking and activation in response to ligands. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit severe obesity and a mutation in this gene may be assoc...

View Full Description

This gene encodes a protein that modulates melanocortin receptor signaling. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with all known melanocortin receptors and may regulate both receptor trafficking and activation in response to ligands. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit severe obesity and a mutation in this gene may be associated with severe obesity in human patients.
