Defining MC1R Regulation in Human Melanocytes by Its Agonist α-Melanocortin and Antagonists Agouti Signaling Protein and β-Defensin 3

The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), a G(s) protein-coupled receptor, plays an important role in human pigmentation. We investigated the regulation of expression and activity of the MC1R in primary human melanocyte cultures. Human beta defensin 3 (HBD3) acted as an antagonist for MC1R, inhibiting the...
