MC4R Protein, Mouse (Cell-Free, His)

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.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration). Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
