Additional Info
| Function | Hormone receptor that acts as a key component of the leptin-melanocortin pathway at the intersection of homeostatic maintenance of energetic state. Plays a role in regulating food intake: activation by a stimulating hormone such as anorexigenic alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) inhibits appetite, whereas binding to a natural antagonist like Agouti-related protein/AGRP promotes appetite. G-protein-coupled receptor that activates conventional Galphas signaling leading to induction of anorexogenic signaling in the hypothalamus to result in negative energy balance. Regulates the firing activity of neurons from the hypothalamus by alpha-MSH and AGRP independently of Galphas signaling by ligand-induced coupling of closure of inwardly rectifying potassium channel KCNJ13. In intestinal epithelial cells, plays a role in the inhibition of hepatic glucose production via nesfatin-1/NUCB2 leading to increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secretion in the intestinal epithelium. |
