General annotation (Comments)

Function

Plays a role in weight homeostasis. Involved in the control of feeding behavior through the central melanocortin system. Acts as alpha melanocyte-stimulating hormone antagonist by inhibiting cAMP production mediated by stimulation of melanocortin receptors within the hypothalamus and adrenal gland. Has very low activity with MC5R. Is an inverse agonist for MC3R and MC4R being able to suppress their constitutive activity By similarity. It promotes MC3R and MC4R endocytosis in an arrestin-dependent manner By similarity. Ref.4

Subunit structure

Interacts with melanocortin receptors MC3R, MC4R and MC5R. Ref.4

Subcellular location

Secreted. Golgi apparatus lumen By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in arcuate nucleus and median eminence, adrenal gland (medulla), hypothalamus, testis, and lung.

Induction

Hypothalamic expression is elevated circa 10-fold in ob/ob and db/db mice.

Domain

The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot' structurally defines this protein as a knottin By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 agouti domain.
