Melanocortin Peptide Drug Design and Application to Feeding Behavior and Melanoma
The melanocortin system is comprised of 5 homeostatic G-protein coupled receptors, which regulate diverse physiological functions including skin pigmentation, erectile dysfunction, and feeding behavior. Melanocortin peptides have been applied to MC4Rs to control feeding behavior and MC1Rs to control...
