Alpha Diagnostic International, Inc. Human Melanocortin Receptor 3 (MC3R) Control/blocking peptide #1 MCR31-P

Human Melanocortin Receptor 3 (MC3R) Control/blocking peptide #1 General Information Five melanocortin receptors (MC-R) have been characterized to date. These include melanocyte-specific receptor (MSH or MC1-R), corticoaderenal-spec ific ACTH receptor (MC2-R), melacortin-3 (MC3-R), melanocortin-4 (MC4-R) and melanocortin-5 receptor (MC5-R) SugApplications Control or blocking peptides are recommended for ELISA plate coating for direct ELISA testing of antibodies or competitive ELISA, and antibody blocking or neutralization. SpeciesReactivity Human Form Antigen/blocking Peptide Antigen 18aa peptide of Human MC3-R; (Gene Accession #P49168) Designated (MCR31-P or control peptide or blocking peptide) conjugated to KLH; epitope location ~ N-terminus, Extracellular domain SpCrossreactivity The 18 AA human MCR31 immunogenic peptide sequence is not very conserved in mouse (61%) or other species. It is recommended to use anti-mouse MCR (#MCR32-A) that is made to the mouse sequence. Antibody in various species is not established For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
