Anti-SHEP2 antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the SHEP2 antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the MC1R gene, which encodes melanocortin 1 receptor. This protein is known to function in GPCR signaling pathways and intracellular signal transduction, among other biological roles. The human version of SHEP2 has a canonical amino acid length of 317 residues and a protein mass of 34.7 kilodaltons. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane of cells. Other names for this target antigen include CMM5 and MSH-R. These SHEP2 antibodies are widely used in Western Blot experiments, among other applications.
