Rat MC3R (Melanocortin Receptor 3) ELISA Kit (RTES01203)

MC3R (Melanocortin Receptor 3) is a G protein-coupled receptor predominantly expressed in hypothalamic and limbic regions of the rat brain, where it contributes to energy homeostasis, appetite regulation, and metabolic signaling. Quantitative assessment of MC3R protein levels is valuable for research in obesity, metabolic disorders, and neuroendocrine pharmacology, making the receptor a frequent target in studies of feeding behavior and body-weight regulation.

This rat-specific ELISA from Assay Genie is supplied in a microplate arrangement delivering 96 assays per kit. The kit contains a pre-coated antibody plate, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, calibration standards, and assay buffers validated for quantitative MC3R measurement in rat-derived samples. Researchers apply this kit to liquid specimens and tissue homogenates prepared from rat models to investigate receptor expression patterns in metabolic dysfunction, satiety signaling, and central nervous system pathways. Reagents should be refrigerated prior to use, with reconstituted standards aliquoted to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and the kit is intended for research use only.
