Peripheral MC1R activation modulates immune responses and is neuroprotective in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease
2023-06-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Melanocortin 1 receptor ( MC1R ) is a key pigmentation gene, and loss-of-function of MC1R variants that produce red hair may be associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). We previously reported compromised dopaminergic neuron survival in Mc1r mutant mice and dopaminergic neuroprotective effects of local injection of a MC1R agonist to the brain or a systemically administered MC1R agonist with a...
