Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Adrenocorticotropic hormone receptor(MC2R) detection.
Background: Melanocortin-2 receptor (MC2R), also known as ACTH receptor (ACTHR), is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. This gene is mapped to 18p11.2. MC2R is selectively activated by adrenocorticotropic hormone, whereas the other four melanocortin receptors recognize a variety of melanocortin ligands. Mutations in MC2R can result in familial glucocorticoid deficiency. Alternate transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Western Blot (WB)

Western Blot: 0.1-0.5ug/ml

Western blot analysis of MC2 receptor expression in mouse brain extract (lane 1). MC2 receptor at 39KD was detected using rabbit anti- MC2 receptor Antigen Affinity purified polyclonal antibody at 0.5ug/mL. The blot was developed using chemiluminescence (ECL) method.

MC2R encodes one member of the five-member G-protein associated melanocortin receptor family. Melanocortins (melanocyte-stimulating hormones and adrenocorticotropic hormone) are peptides derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). MC2R is selectively activated by adrenocorticotropic hormone, whereas the other four melanocortin receptors recognize a variety of melanocortin ligands. Mutations in MC2R can result in familial glucocorticoid deficiency. Alternate transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

MC2R: Receptor for ACTH. This receptor is mediated by G proteins (G(s)) which activate adenylate cyclase. Defects in MC2R are the cause of glucocorticoid deficiency type 1 (GCCD1); also known as familial glucocorticoid deficiency type 1 (FGD1). GCCD1 is an autosomal recessive disorder due to congenital insensitivity or resistance to adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). It is characterized by progressive primary adrenal insufficiency, without mineralocorticoid deficiency. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
