MRAP Homo sapiens

Full name:

melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein

Synonyms:

B27, C21orf61, FALP, FGD2, GCCD2, melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein, fat cell-specific low molecular weight protein, fat tissue-specific low MW protein

Chr 21: 32585995-32608966

Description:

This gene encodes a melanocortin receptor-interacting protein. The encoded protein regulates trafficking and function of the melanocortin 2 receptor in the adrenal gland. The encoded protein can also modulate signaling of other melanocortin receptors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial glucocorticoid deficiency type 2. Altern...
