TwoMelanin-concentrating hormone receptors (MCHR) have recently been characterized: MCH-R1 and MCH-R2. These two receptors share approximately 38%homology.
Antagonists might be useful in the treatment ofobesity[1][2] andanxiety anddepression.[3] An agonist might have possible utility as a treatment forosteoporosis[4] andinsomnia[5]
Research is ongoing for antagonists affecting MCH receptors R1 and R2.[6][7]
