Expression of melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) mRNA in developing rat limb buds, teeth, and skull bone first indicated a possible role for MC4R in bone metabolism. We therefore investigated whether MC4R mRNA was expressed in the rat osteosarcoma UMR106.06 cell line and in primary rat osteoblast cells. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Northern blot analysis, and ribonuclease...
The melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) plays a critical role in the regulation of energy homeostasis, and the MC4R knockout mouse and humans with MC4R defective mutations in only one allele indicate that there is a gene dosage effect. Alterations in gene expression levels for MC4R could, therefore, have significant effects on energy homeostasis. To begin to develop a mouse model for studies on MC4R promoter...
