Description

Specificity

Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone Receptor (MSH-R), also called Melanotropin Receptor, or Melanocortin-1 Receptor (MC1-R), is a 315 aa transmembrane protein belonging to the family 1 of G-Protein coupled receptors. It is a receptor for MSH (a, b, g) and ACTH. Its activity is mediated by G-proteins that activate adenylate cyclase. It is found in Melanocytes and corticoadrenal tissue as well as various tissues like adrenal gland, leukocytes, lung, lymph node, ovary, testis, pituitary, placenta, spleen and uterus.

Mouse MSH-R. Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed. The immunogen sequence shows 70% homology with human, 66% with bovine, sheep and horse, and 60% with canine.

Immunogen

A 21 mer peptide (designated MCR11) from the 3rd cytoplasmic domain of mouse MC1-R.
