Abstract excerpt
The mMC5 receptor was cloned from a genomic library, mutated in the extracellular loops (EL's), expressed and tested for binding to melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) peptides. The EL's show low amino acid homology within the MC receptor family. Two mutants of the mMC5 receptor were created in...
