Melanocortin receptor 4 Antibodies

AND MC4R ELISA kits, Melanocortin receptor 4 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Melanocortin receptor 4, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Melanocortin receptor 4 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Melanocortin receptor 4 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to Melanocortin receptor 4 by testing them on tissues known to express MC4R positively and negatively. Browse below to find the MC4R antibody that suites your experiment. We have 4 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

MC4R Overview

Facts about Melanocortin receptor 4.

MC4R 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R)

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). .
