Localization of the human melanocortin-5 receptor gene (MC5R) to chromosome band 18p11.2 by fluorescence in situ hybridization

Abstract
The recently cloned novel MC5R gene is suggested to be a mediator of neural functions of the melanocortic peptides, such as melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). We now report the localization of the human MC5R locus to chromosome 18pll.2.
