Target Information
| Gene Symbol | Mrap |
| Gene ID | 77037 |
| Uniprot ID | MRAP_MOUSE |
| Specificity | This is positive control is recommended for use in combination with MRAP2 antibody STJ501797. |
Additional Info
| Tissue Specificity | Largely restricted to fat tissues. Predominantly expressed in mouse epididymal (white adipose tissue) and interscapular (brown adipose tissue) fat pads. Expression is weak or absent in lung, spleen, intestine, kidney, heart and skeletal muscle. |
| Function | Modulator of melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC2R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R). Acts by increasing ligand-sensitivity of melanocortin receptors and enhancing generation of cAMP by the receptors. Required both for MC2R trafficking to the cell surface of adrenal cells and for signaling in response to corticotropin (ACTH). May be involved in the intracellular trafficking pathways in adipocyte cells. |
