MRAP blocking peptide
MRAP Peptide - N-terminal region
Target Description: This gene encodes a melanocortin receptor-interacting protein. The encoded protein regulates trafficking and function of the melanocortin 2 receptor in the adrenal gland. The encoded protein can also modulate signaling of other melanocortin receptors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial glucocorticoid deficiency type 2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

Uniprot Description
MRAP: Required for MC2R expression in certain cell types, suggesting that it is involved in the processing, trafficking or function of MC2R. May be involved in the intracellular trafficking pathways in adipocyte cells. Defects in MRAP are the cause of glucocorticoid deficiency type 2 (GCCD2); also known as familial glucocorticoid deficiency type 2 (FGD2). GCCD2 is an autosomal recessive disorder due to congenital insensitivity or resistance to adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). It is characterized by progressive primary adrenal insufficiency, without mineralocorticoid deficiency. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The MRAP mrap (Catalog #AAA3232941) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The MRAP Peptide - N-terminal region reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MRAP can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MRAP mrap for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Synthetic peptide located within the following region: MANGTNASAP YYSYEYYLDY LDLIPVDEKK LKAHKHSIVI AFWVSLAAFV. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MRAP, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
