The following melanocortin 4 receptor ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of melanocortin 4 receptor in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MC4R gene. This protein is a known receptor specific to the heptapeptide core common to adrenocorticotropic hormone and alpha-, beta-, and gamma-MSH. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 332 residues, a mass of 36.9 kDa, and is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Obesity. This protein may also be known as melanocortin receptor 4, mutant melanocortin-4 receptor, and BMIQ20.
The detection range for different melanocortin 4 receptor ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 9 ng/L and as high as 20 ng/mL.
