Anti-MC1R Antibody

The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is a G protein-coupled receptor best known for its role in pigmentation and melanocyte signaling, and this unconjugated rabbit polyclonal IgG antibody from Antibodies.com is raised against it for research use in Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) workflows.

Provided as a 200 µl liquid aliquot, the reagent is validated for detection of MC1R in both human and mouse samples, supporting studies of melanogenesis, coat-color genetics, and melanoma-relevant signaling pathways. Because the antibody is unconjugated, it can be paired with a secondary reagent of the researcher's choice for chromogenic, fluorescent, or chemiluminescent readout depending on the assay design.

Polyclonal IgG preparations typically recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can be advantageous when detecting low-abundance MC1R or working with samples where single-epitope monoclonal reagents give weak signal. The reagent is supplied as a vial of 200 µl intended for research use only and should be handled as a standard laboratory antibody.
