Studies on the physiological functions of the melanocortin system.

Endocrine reviews - 1 Dec 2006

Cone Roger D

Abstract excerpt

The melanocortin system refers to a set of hormonal, neuropeptidergic, and paracrine signaling pathways that are defined by components that include the five G protein-coupled melanocortin receptors; peptide agonists derived from the proopiomelanocortin preprohormone precursor; and the endogenous antagonists, agouti and agouti-related protein. This signaling system regulates a remarkably diverse array of...
