Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 also known as MCH1 is one of the human melanin-concentrating hormone receptors.The protein encoded by this gene a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family 1 is an integral plasma membrane protein which binds melanin-concentrating hormone. The encoded protein can inhibit cAMP accumulation and stimulate intracellular calcium flux and is probably involved in the neuronal regulation of food consumption.
