Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is a melanocortin receptor that in humans is encoded by the MC4R gene.[5][6][7] It encodes the MC4R protein, a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that binds α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In mouse models, MC4 receptors have been found to be involved in feeding behaviour, the regulation of metabolism, sexual behaviour, and male erectile function.[8][9][10]
