Immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded human brain using FNab05304(MRAP2 antibody) at dilution of 1:50
背景介绍
Modulator of melanocortin receptor 4(MC4R), a receptor involved in energy homeostasis. Plays a central role in the control of energy homeostasis and body weight regulation by increasing ligand-sensitivity of MC4R and MC4R-mediated generation of cAMP(By similarity). May also act as a negative regulator of MC2R: competes with MRAP for binding to MC2R and impairs the binding of corticotropin(ACTH) to MC2R. May also regulate activity of other melanocortin receptors(MC1R, MC3R and MC5R); however, additional evidences are required in vivo.
