Function | Modulator of melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R), a receptor involved in energy homeostasis. Plays a central role in the control of energy homeostasis and body weight regulation by increasing ligand-sensitivity of MC4R and MC4R-mediated generation of cAMP (By similarity). May also act as a negative regulator of MC2R: competes with MRAP for binding to MC2R and impairs the binding of corticotropin (ACTH) to MC2R. May also regulate activity of other melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R and MC5R); however, additional evidences are required in vivo. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20371771}. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486}. Note=The formation of antiparallel homo- and heterodimers suggest that N- and C-terminus can both localize in the cytoplasmic and extracellular parts, depending on the context. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20371771}. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the adrenal gland and brain. Not expressed in other tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486}. |
