Human Melanocortin 5 Receptor (MC5R) ELISA Kit

The melanocortin 5 receptor (MC5R) is a G protein-coupled receptor expressed in sebaceous and other exocrine glands, where it mediates melanocortin-driven regulation of sebum secretion, thermoregulation, and lipid metabolism. Researchers studying dermatology, obesity, or metabolic signaling use this Assay Genie immunoassay to quantify MC5R protein in tissue homogenate preparations. The kit provides all reagents required to run a full standard curve alongside unknown samples in microplate format, with detection based on an enzyme-substrate color reaction read on a standard plate reader. Working concentrations, dilutions, and incubation times follow the protocol booklet supplied with each kit. Reconstituted standards and detection antibody should be aliquoted to minimize freeze-thaw cycles, and all components are intended for refrigerated storage and research use only. The assay is widely cited in studies of MC5R tissue distribution, sebocyte function, and the role of melanocortin pathways in metabolic disease research.
