Two Melanin-concentrating hormone receptors (MCHR) have recently been characterized: MCH-R1 and MCH-R2. These two receptors share approximately 38% homology. * MCH-R1 is expressed in all mammals. * MCH-R2 is only found in some primates and carnivores including dogs, ferrets and man. ==Clinical significance== Antagonists might be useful in the treatment of obesity and anxiety and depression. An agonist might have possible utility as a treatment for osteoporosis and insomnia Research is ongoing for antagonists affecting MCH receptors R1 and R2. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
