About Pmch

Summary

Enables type 1 melanin-concentrating hormone receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including lactation; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and positive regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, REM sleep. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of obesity. Orthologous to human PMCH (pro-melanin concentrating hormone). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
