Melanocortin 5 receptor

Melanocortin receptor 5 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the MC5R is_associated_with::gene. It is located on the chromosome 18 in the human is_associated_with::genome. When the melanocortin 5 receptor was disrupted in transgenic mice, it induced disruption of their is_associated_with::exocrine glands and resulted in decreased production of sebum.
