The Melanocortin‐1 Receptor is a Key Regulator of Human Cutaneous Pigmentation

Abstract: the implications of these variants on the function of the The cloning and characterization of the human melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) and the demonstration that normal human MC1R revealed the following. Human melanocytes homelanocytes respond to the melanocortins, a-melanocyte stimmozygous for Arg160Trp mutation in the MC1R demonulating hormone (a-MSH) and adrenocorticotrophic hormone strated a significantly reduced response to a-MSH. Also, this culture responded poorly to ASP and exhibited an exagger-(ACTH),… Show more

“…a-MSH binds to the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) and activates adenylate cyclase that increases the intracellular cAMP concentration. 28) cAMP activates protein kinase A (PKA), which subsequently increases microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (Mitf) expression. Mitf is a transcription factor that effectively transactivates the expression of tyrosinase and its related genes by binding to their common promoters.…”

“…O α-MSH é também produzido em melanócitos e células de Langerhans. 9,11,17,25,[30][31][32][33][34] Evidências indicam que estes hormônios têm um papel parácrino, na regulação das funções dos melanócitos. Mais de 120 genes têm sido identificados e parecem regular a pigmentação, porém, os efeitos do α-MSH são mediados pelo MC1-R, o qual é expresso na superfície dos melanóci-tos, sendo considerado o ponto chave para pigmentação.…”

“…Desde que MC1-R tenha uma distribuição tecidual ampla, é provável que esteja associado com um número grande de funções biológi-cas. 9,11,17,25,30,[32][33][34][35] Em 1992, Mountjoy et al, 36 da Universidade de Ciências da Saúde de Oregon, em Portland, relataram a clonagem do receptor hormonal de MC1-R, em humanos e ratos. Demonstraram também que mutações no gene deste receptor proporcionavam alterações na cor dos pêlos em ratos.…”
