Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3R) is a G-protein coupled receptor that has been identified as a regulator of energy balance mechanisms. In addition to its role in weight gain and appetite regulation mechanisms, recent studies have shown that MC3R is important for growth, puberty, circadian rhythms, and liver autophagy. In human populations, loss-of-function mutations of MC3R, particularly the...
