Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissue using MC1R antibody was performed. The section was pretreated using high-temperature mediated EDTA antigen retrieval buffer (pH 9.0), for 20 minutes. The tissues were incubated with primary antibody (HY-P82274, 1:100 dilution) at room temperature for 20 minutes. Detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with neutral balsam mounting medium.

Background

Function
MC1R (Melanocortin 1 Receptor) is a melanocyte-enriched Gs-coupled receptor that functions as a central regulator of pigmentation, ultraviolet (UV) response, and melanoma susceptibility through control of melanin synthesis and cellular photoprotection[1]. Upon activation by melanocortin ligands such as α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), MC1R stimulates adenylate cyclase and elevates cAMP signaling, leading to activation of CREB and MITF and promoting eumelanin production, DNA repair, and antioxidant defense programs in melanocytes[2][3]. Mechanistically, MC1R signaling extends beyond pigmentation and contributes to adaptive responses against UV-induced genomic damage, linking melanogenesis with maintenance of genome stability[1][3]. In disease contexts, loss-of-function MC1R variants are associated with fair skin, red-hair phenotypes, impaired photoprotection, and increased melanoma risk, making MC1R a widely used genetic and experimental model for studying pigment biology and skin cancer susceptibility[1][2]. Compared with other melanocortin receptor family members, MC1R is distinguished by its predominant role in melanocyte biology and regulation of epidermal pigmentation, whereas other melanocortin receptors mediate endocrine, metabolic, or energy-homeostasis functions[4]. For experimental applications, both endogenous and synthetic MC1R agonists are used to investigate melanogenesis, DNA repair signaling, and photoprotective mechanisms, supporting continued interest in MC1R-targeted pharmacological studies[3][5].

Subunit
Interacts with MGRN1, but does not undergo MGRN1-mediated ubiquitination; this interaction competes with GNAS-binding and thus inhibits agonist-induced cAMP production (PubMed:19737927). Interacts with OPN3; the interaction results in a decrease in MC1R-mediated cAMP signaling and ultimately a decrease in melanin production in melanocytes (PubMed:31097585)
