Developing Melanocortin 3 Selective Ligands through C-Terminal Modification of Melanocortin Peptides
The melanocortin 3 and 4 receptors share 58% overall amino acid identity and 76% similarity. This high level of similarity between the MC3R and the MC4R underscores the difficulties associated with developing MC3R selective ligands, and as a consequence little is known of the physiological functions...
