Protein Information
Name	MC2R (HGNC:6930)
Synonyms	ACTHR
Function	G protein-coupled receptor for corticotropin/ACTH, primarily expressed in adrenal cortex where it plays a key role in the regulation of adrenocortical function (PubMed:1325670, PubMed:17596328, PubMed:36588120). Upon activation, couples to G(s) protein, stimulating adenylate cyclase and activating the cAMP-dependent signaling pathway, the MAPK cascade as well as the PKA pathway, leading to steroidogenic factor 1/NR5A1-mediated transcriptional activation (PubMed:1325670). Activation by ACTH facilitates the release of adrenal glucocorticoids, including cortisol and corticosterone (PubMed:12213892, PubMed:8636348). In addition, MC2R is required for fetal and neonatal adrenal gland development (By similarity).
Cellular Location	Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
Tissue Location	Melanocytes and corticoadrenal tissue.
