General annotation (Comments)

Function

Receptor specific to the heptapeptide core common to adrenocorticotropic hormone and alpha-, beta-, and gamma-MSH. This receptor is mediated by G proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase.

Subunit structure

Interacts with ATRNL1. Interacts with MGRN1, but does not undergo MGRN1-mediated ubiquitination; this interaction competes with GNAS-binding and thus inhibits agonist-induced cAMP production By similarity. Ref.6

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
