Abstract
The Melanocortin Receptor Accessory Protein 2 (MRAP2) regulates the activity of several GPCRs involved in the control of food intake and energy expenditure. While MRAP2 was originally thought to exclusively interact with melanocortin receptors we have recently shown that it interacts with and inhibits the trafficking and signaling of the prokineticin receptor 1 (PKR1). In this study we demonstrate a new role of MRAP2 in the regulation of the orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) and identify the specific regions of MRAP2 required for the regulation of OX1R and PKR1. Importantly, like MC4R and PKRs, OX1R is predominately expressed in the brain where it regulates food intake. By demonstrating that MRAP2 modulates the activity of OX1R we further establish the critical role of MRAP2 in the control of energy homeostasis.
