Summary |
Melanocortin Receptor 1 (MC1R) belongs to a five-member receptor family known as the melanocortin receptors. The melanocortin receptors are members of the 7-transmembrane domain, G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily.The receptors ligands, the melanocortins, are a group of structurally derived peptides consisting of α-, β- and γ-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α, β, γ-MSH) and the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) all of which are derived from the post-translational processing of a common precursor peptide, proopiomelanocortin (POMC).1,2,3One of the most salient features of the melanocortin signaling system is the presence of two endogenous antagonists, that is proteins that bind specifically to the receptor but instead of activating it have an inhibitory effect. The antagonist proteins are termed agouti (or agouti signaling protein, ASP) and agouti-related protein (AGRP).4All five melanocortin receptors bind their agonists (the melanocortins) and their endogenous antagonists (agouti and AGRP) with different affinities.MC1R was the first member of the melanocortin receptor family to be cloned. The receptor transduces signals via Gsresulting in the activation of adenylate cyclase and production of cAMP.MC1R binds its ligands with the following potency: α-MSH = ACTH > β-MSH > γ-MSH. MC1R also binds the endogenous antagonist agouti with high affinity.1, 2MC1R can be described as the “classical” melanocyte α-MSH receptor. The receptor is expressed in the skin where it has a key role in determining skin and hair pigmentation. In fur-bearing mammals, the local ratio between α-MSH and agouti will determine coat pigmentation as α-MSH stimulates and agouti inhibits melanin production.In humans, especially in Caucasians, the MC1R gene is highly polymorphic and several allelic variants have been correlated with red-hair, poor tanning ability and increased risk of melanoma.1,3,5In addition, MC1R expression in melanoma has been shown to be upregulated up to 20-fold when compared to normal melanocytes.The melanocortins and particularly α-MSH have significant anti-inflammatory properties. Since α-MSH binds to MC1R with the highest potency, it was proposed that the latter mediated the anti-inflammatory effects of α-MSH. Indeed, MC1R expression has been demonstrated in several cells of the immune system including macrophages and neutrophils.6
