A single nucleotide polymorphism that is thought to influence MC4R expression in humans has been shown to have a stronger effect on eating behavior in females (Horstmann et al., 2013)

MC1R is expressed on keratinocytes, fibroblasts, dendritic cells, mast cells, and other immune cells in the skin , and MT-1-mediated MC1R activation produces anti-inflammatory effects in these cell types through cAMP-mediated suppression of NF-B activation, reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine production including TNF-alpha and IL-6, inhibition of reactive oxygen species generation, and modulation of dendritic cell maturation and antigen presentation
