MC4 Receptor Blocking Peptide | MC4 blocking peptide
MC4 Receptor Peptide
Western Blot: 1:500
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).
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-bound receptor and member of the melanocortin receptor family. The encoded protein interacts with adrenocorticotropic and MSH hormones and is mediated by G proteins. This is an intronless gene. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal dominant obesity.

Product Notes
The MC4 mc4r (Catalog #AAA543977) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's MC4 Receptor can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunodepletion, Immunocompetition. Immunohistochemistry: 1:100 Western Blot: 1:500. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MC4 mc4r 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. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MC4 Receptor, 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
