The following Melanocortin 1 Receptor ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of melanocortin 1 receptor in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MC1R gene. 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. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in melanocytes. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Melanoma. This protein may also be known as MSH-R, SHEP2, melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor, alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone receptor, melanotropin receptor, and CMM5.
There are Melanocortin 1 Receptor ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
