This review provided better understanding on how melanocortin- 4 receptor (MC4R) , a significant central receptor controlling numerous physiological systems, reglates food intake and metabolism. Mutation of this gene involved in human obesit. Nevertheless, some countries investigated mutation of MC4R gene in cattle, pig and poultry to consider this gene for an economic beneft to meat quality improvement |
