The Melanocortin Pathway: Genetics of Central Sexual Response

Central sexual arousal — the brain-driven signal that initiates the entire sexual response cascade — runs through the melanocortin pathway and its primary receptor, MC4R. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes melanocortin pathway variants as part of 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights, mapping the CNS architecture of arousal that vascular testing cannot reach.
