UniProt data
UniProt name: MRAP2_HUMAN (Q96G30)
Gene name: MRAP2; Synonyms=C6orf117
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Modulator of melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R), a receptor involved in energy homeostasis. Plays a central role in the control of energy homeostasis and body weight regulation by increasing ligand-sensitivity of MC4R and MC4R-mediated generation of cAMP (By similarity). May also act as a negative regulator of MC2R: competes with MRAP for binding to MC2R and impairs the binding of corticotropin (ACTH) to MC2R. May also regulate activity of other melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R and MC5R); however, additional evidences are required in vivo. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20371771}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19329486}. Note=The formation of antiparallel homo- and heterodimers suggest that N- and C-terminus can both localize in the cytoplasmic and extracellular parts, depending on the context. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20371771}.
Transmembrane domains:
- 45-65, 21 AA, Helical. {ECO:0000255}.
Sequence: 205 AA
