Human MC1R (Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor) ELISA KIT (HUFI05070)

The Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) profiled by this Assay Genie kit is a 317-amino-acid G protein-coupled receptor anchored in the melanocyte plasma membrane, where it binds α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and triggers cAMP-driven melanogenesis. Researchers use this quantitative immunoassay to investigate circulating MC1R concentrations, supporting work on pigmentation biology, red-hair and fair-skin loss-of-function variants, melanoma susceptibility, UV-response signaling, and receptor-level changes in dermatological and inflammatory disease studies. The kit supplies a pre-coated microplate, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP, standards, and dilution buffer, intended for in vitro research use only.
