Human, Mouse, Rat
Conjugated Peptide
Anti-MC4R antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a 19 amino acid synthetic peptide near the N-terminus of human MC4R.
Anti-MC4R Antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. Cross reactivity with MC4R from other sources has not been determined.
Application Details
ELISA, IF, IHC, WB
Anti-MC4R Antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, Western Blotting, Immunohistochemistry and Immunofluorescence. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band at approximately 37 kDa in Western Blots of specific cell lysates and tissues.

The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is a member of the superfamily of seven transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors that are involved in multiple signal transduction pathways including the cAMP and MAPK signaling pathways. It is thought that the melanocortin system modulates energy expenditure and insulin sensitivity; activation of the MC4R results in the inhibition of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activity and promotes insulin signaling. MC4R-null mice display maturity onset obesity characterized by hyperphagia, increased adiposity, hyperinsulinaemia and hyperleptinaemia, suggesting that like other obesity-linked genes such as FTO, PTER, and NPC1, MC4R is a potential candidate target for the treatment of obesity.
