Background: Melanocortin-2 receptor (MC2R), also known as ACTH receptor (ACTHR), is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. This gene is mapped to 18p11.2. MC2R is selectively activated by adrenocorticotropic hormone, whereas the other four melanocortin receptors recognize a variety of melanocortin ligands. Mutations in MC2R can result in familial glucocorticoid deficiency. Alternate transcript variants have been found for this gene.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
MC2R encodes one member of the five-member G-protein associated melanocortin receptor family. Melanocortins (melanocyte-stimulating hormones and adrenocorticotropic hormone) are peptides derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). MC2R is selectively activated by adrenocorticotropic hormone, whereas the other four melanocortin receptors recognize a variety of melanocortin ligands. Mutations in MC2R can result in familial glucocorticoid deficiency. Alternate transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
Uniprot Description
MC2R: Receptor for ACTH. This receptor is mediated by G proteins (G(s)) which activate adenylate cyclase. Defects in MC2R are the cause of glucocorticoid deficiency type 1 (GCCD1); also known as familial glucocorticoid deficiency type 1 (FGD1). GCCD1 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. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Product Notes
The MC2R mc2r (Catalog #AAA178665) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-MC2 Receptor Antibody reacts with Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MC2 Receptor can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western Blot: 0.1-0.5ug/ml. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MC2R mc2r 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 "MC2 Receptor, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
