Enables melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor activity. Involved in intracellular signal transduction; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within melanin biosynthetic process; pigmentation; and sensory perception of pain. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in ductus de

Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein polymerase that maintains telomere ends by addition of the telomere repeat TTAGGG. The enzyme consists of a protein component with reverse transcriptase activity, encoded by this gene, and an RNA component which serves as a template for the telomere repeat. Telomerase expression plays a role in cellular senescence, as it is normally repressed in postnatal somatic cells resulting in progressive shortening of telomeres. Deregulation of telomerase expression in s

The physiologic effects of glucagon are mediated through the glucagon receptor, a member of the superfamily of receptors characterized by a 7-transmembrane domain structure and by their coupling via GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) to adenyl cyclase. The glucagon receptor has been reported to be expressed in liver and adipose, but not in adrenal medulla. ESTs have been isolated from liver/spleen and kidney libraries.
