Mc2r Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and regulation of metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; brain; hemolymphoid system gland; lung; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in West syndrome and glucocorticoid deficiency 1. Orthologous to human MC2R (melanocortin 2 receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Mc2r often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
