MC1R ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein melanocortin 1 receptor, which is encoded by the MC1R gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a known receptor for MSH (alpha, beta and gamma) and ACTH. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 317 residues, a mass of 34.7 kDa, and is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is reported to be expressed in melanocytes. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The MC1R gene has been associated with the disease, Melanoma. Other alias names for this target include MSH-R, SHEP2, melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor, alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone receptor, melanotropin receptor, and CMM5.
There are MC1R ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 20 ng/L and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
