MC4R Variants Modulate α-MSH and Setmelanotide Induced Cellular Signaling at Multiple Levels
3 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) plays an important role in body weight regulation. Pathogenic MC4R variants are the most common cause of monogenic obesity. OBJECTIVE: We have identified 17 MC4R variants in adult and pediatric patients with obesity. Here we aimed to functionally characterize these variants by analyzing 4 different aspects of MC4R signaling. In addition, we aimed to analyze the effect...
