abstract：:We report the isolation of a gene encoding a novel member of the family of melanocortin receptors. The mouse melanocortin-5 receptor (mMC5R) responds to melanocortins with an increase in intracellular cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations. Stimulation of the mMC5R by the melanocortins revealed a h...
