MC4R Protein, Mouse (Cell-Free, His)

Cat. No.: HY-P702372
Handling Instructions

MC4R is a receptor for adrenocorticotropic hormone and α, β, and γ-MSH and plays a key role in regulating energy homeostasis and somatic cell growth. Mediated by G proteins, it forms disulfide-linked homodimers and higher-order oligomers. MC4R Protein, Mouse (Cell-Free, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived MC4R protein, expressed by E. coli Cell-free , with N-10*His labeled tag. The total length of MC4R Protein, Mouse (Cell-Free, His) is 332 a.a., with molecular weight of 43.0 kDa.

Background

MC4R, a receptor specific to the heptapeptide core shared by adrenocorticotropic hormone and alpha-, beta-, and gamma-MSH, plays a pivotal role in regulating energy homeostasis and somatic growth. Mediated by G proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase to generate cAMP, this receptor forms homodimers that are disulfide-linked and can further assemble into higher-order oligomers. MC4R interacts with ATRNL1 and engages in an interaction with MGRN1, inhibiting agonist-induced cAMP production by competing with GNAS-binding. Additionally, it forms complexes with MRAP and MRAP2, enhancing ligand sensitivity and cAMP generation, thereby contributing to its multifaceted regulatory functions.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Reconstitution Calculator

  • Dilution Calculator

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×
C1   V1   C2   V2

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
