MCHR1 polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
The protein encoded by this gene, a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family 1, is an integral plasma membrane protein which binds melanin-concentrating hormone. The encoded protein can inhibit cAMP accumulation and stimulate intracellular calcium flux, and is probably involved in the neuronal regulation of food consumption. Although structurally similar to somatostatin receptors, this protein does not seem to bind somatostatin.

Research Area: Neuroscience, Metabolism

Synonyms: Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 , MCH receptor 1, MCH-R1, MCHR-1, G-protein coupled receptor 24, MCH-1R, MCH1R, MCHR, SLC-1, Somatostatin receptor-like protein

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human AMPK alpha around the phosphorylation site of Thr172. AA range:140-189

Purification: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.

Formulation: Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.

Concentration: 1 mg/ml
