| Host: | Rabbit |
| Applications: | IHC/WB |
| Reactivity: | Human |
| Note: | STRICTLY FOR FURTHER SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). MUST NOT TO BE USED IN DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS. |
| Short Description : | Rabbit polyclonal antibody anti-MC4R (2-45 aa) is suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot research applications. |
| Clonality : | Polyclonal |
| Conjugation: | Unconjugated |
| Isotype: | IgG |
| Formulation: | Lyophilised |
| Purification: | IgG purified |
| Dilution Range: | IHC, WB (confirmed by recombinant protein). A dilution of 1:300 to 1:2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. |
| Storage Instruction: | Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at-20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles. |
| Gene Symbol: | MC4R |
| Gene ID: | 4160 |
| Uniprot ID: | MC4R_HUMAN |
| Immunogen Region: | 2-45 aa |
| Specificity: | Specific for MC4R. |
| Immunogen: | A synthetic peptide from aa region 2-45 of extracellular domain of human MC4R conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide shares 89% identity with mouse sequence. |
| Function | Receptor specific to the heptapeptide core common to adrenocorticotropic hormone and alpha-, beta-, and gamma-MSH. Plays a central role in energy homeostasis and somatic growth. This receptor is mediated by G proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase (cAMP). |
