Melanocortin 3 receptor
Melanocortin receptor 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MC3R gene.
Function
This gene encodes MC3, a G-protein coupled receptor for melanocyte-stimulating hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone that is expressed in tissues other than the adrenal cortex and melanocytes. This gene maps to the same region as the locus for benign neonatal epilepsy. Mice deficient for this gene have increased fat mass despite decreased food intake suggesting a role for this gene product in the regulation of energy homeostasis.

Things That Bend
by: MicocaroGoing to the city........
Run to the city with your own contraption
Run to the city for a new reaction
To the city for your own advantage
To the city for a sidewalk attraction
Hmm.......
See the light that you hold now in our times
Sole single light
Sole single light
See the light that you hold out in our times
Sole single light
Sole single light
So, get ready for what the lights intended
Stay in the city for the love of attention
In the city that is most intensive
In the city where the light will protect you now
Up for the looks and the outboasts
Side street crowds and the kids on the lampposts
Catch a glimpse of the light from the street show
Hopes there'll be a sign
See the light that you hold now in our times
Sole single light
Sole single light
See the light that you hold out in our times
Sole single light
Sole single light
So, get ready for what the lights intended
Stay in the city for the love of attention
In the city that is most inventive
In the city where the light will protect you now
