STAMBP activates MC1R. 16 / 16

sparser
"Both mc1r and mc4r are activated by α-MSH and are involved in the control of the pigmentation and the modulation of food intake, respectively xref xref xref ."

sparser
"The activation of MC1R by its ligand α-MSH or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) leads to an increase in adenylyl cyclase, which in turn upregulates intracellular cAMP levels [ xref , xref ]."

sparser
"The MC1R is activated by α-MSH and antagonized by agouti signaling protein (ASIP)."

sparser
"In both cases, knock-down of AgRP2 xref would be expected to increase MC1R activation by α-MSH, leading to the dispersion of melanosomes and decreased camouflage capability."

sparser
"The activity of MITF is positively regulated by signaling downstream of the MC1R, which are in turn activated by α-MSH produced by UV-irradiated keratinocytes xref ."

sparser
"MC1R activation by the α-MSH produced in keratinocytes results in stimulation of synthesis of photoprotective eumelanin (brown-black pigment) in melanocytes."

sparser
"We show that activation of the MC1R by α-MSH contributes to phosphorylation of p53 on serine 15, a known requirement for stabilization and activation of p53, a major sensor of DNA damage."

sparser
"ACTH can activate all five receptor subtypes; of the melanocortins, only ACTH activates MC2R; ACTH as well as α-MSH, β-MSH and γ-MSH activate MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R, although with varying affinities."

sparser
"Activation of MC1R by α-MSH or ACTH increases cAMP synthesis which indirectly induces a switch from the production of pheomelanin to eumelanin synthesis [ xref ] ( xref )."

sparser
"In macrophages, α-MSH activates MC1R and inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation xref ."

sparser
"Additionally, activation of MC1R by α-MSH regulates intracellular redox status by up regulating the expression of antioxidant genes, including heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), ferritin, and peroxiredoxin-1 ( xref ; xref )."

sparser
"ACTH (1–39) or α-MSH can activate MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R ( xref ), but MC2R can only be activated by ACTH and not by α-MSH or other analogs ( xref )."

sparser
"MC1R activation by α-MSH triggers an increase in cAMP levels within the melanocytes, which increase transcription of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) via CREB/ATF1."

sparser
"Interestingly, brief treatment with the MC1R antagonists ASIP or HBD3 inhibited activation of the MC1R by α-MSH, possibly due to receptor desensitization."

sparser
"POMC is the precursor of α-MSH, which activates the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) and induces melanin products [ xref , xref ]."

sparser
"Α-MSH activates putative cell surface receptor MC1R and stimulates melanogenesis and proliferation of human melanocytes."
