Facts about Melanocortin receptor 3.
Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH.
This receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase.Required for expression of anticipatory patterns of action and wakefulness during periods of limited nutrient availability and for the normal regulation of circadian clock action in the brain. .
