    Results indicate that substitution of the amino acid residue leucine to isoleucine in 112 (L112I) of one of the transmembrane domains in the MC2R changes from both DPhe-ACTH1-17 and ACTH1-15 from no activity to agonists. Also, mutation L112I switches alpha-MSH from no activity to agonist, suggesting that this residue plays a key role at MC2R for ligand ACTH or alpha-MSH selectivity.
