melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 Identifiers Symbol MCHR1 Alt. symbols GPR24 Entrez 2847 HUGO 4479 OMIM 601751 RefSeq NM_005297 UniProt Q99705 Other data Locus Chr. 22 q13.3 melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 2 Identifiers Symbol MCHR2 Alt. symbols GPR145 Entrez 84539 HUGO 20867 OMIM 606111 RefSeq NM_032503 UniProt Q969V1 Other data Locus Chr. 6 q16 Two Melanin-concentrating hormone receptors (MCHR) have recently been characterized: MCH-R1 and MCH-R2. These two receptors share approximately 38% homology.
- MCH-R1 is expressed in all mammals.
- MCH-R2 is only found in some primates and carnivores including dogs, ferrets and man.

Clinical significance
Antagonists might be useful in the treatment of obesity[1][2] and anxiety and depression.[3] An agonist might have possible utility as a treatment for osteoporosis.[4]
Research is ongoing for antagonists affecting MCH receptors R1 and R2.[5][6]
