Current Mechanistic and Pharmacodynamic Understanding of Melanocortin-4 Receptor Activation

Current Mechanistic and Pharmacodynamic Understanding of Melanocortin-4 Receptor Activation

In this work<b> </b>we summarize our understanding of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) pathway activation, aiming to define a safe and effective therapeutic targeting strategy for the MC4R. Delineation of cellular MC4R pathways has provided evidence for distinct MC4R signaling events chara...
