EndoNet ID: ENR00994

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be:

General information

  • MCH1R was shown, by immunocytochemistry, to be present in the human infundibular nucleus/median eminence, paraventricular nucleus, lateral hypothalamic area, and perifornical area. [1]
  • MCH1R staining was found in nerve fibers in the periventricular nucleus, dorsomedial and ventromedial nucleus, suprachiasmatic nucleus, and tuberomammillary nucleus. [1]
