Anti-MCHR1 Antibody

This rabbit polyclonal primary antibody from Antibodies.com targets MCHR1 (melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1), a class A G protein-coupled receptor predominantly expressed in central nervous system neurons involved in feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, and neuroendocrine signaling. The unconjugated reagent is supplied as 100 µl of liquid in a single vial and is validated for Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) workflows.

The antibody is raised in rabbit and recognizes the human MCHR1 protein, with demonstrated reactivity against mouse and rat orthologues, supporting translational studies across rodent disease models and human tissue specimens. Polyclonal preparations typically engage multiple epitopes on the target, which is useful when probing denatured protein on western blots or fixed, paraffin-embedded sections in IHC staining protocols.

For short-term use, keep the vial refrigerated at 4°C; for longer-term storage, aliquot and freeze at -20°C. Protect from light and limit freeze-thaw cycles to preserve antibody activity. Researchers investigating obesity, sleep regulation, mood disorders, or hypothalamic signaling pathways will find this reagent a practical tool for characterizing MCHR1 expression at the protein level in cell culture lysates and tissue samples.
