MC4-R Antibody / Energy Homeostasis Receptor Antibody is designed for the detection and study of MC4-R (Melanocortin Receptor 4), a member of the melanocortin receptor family and the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. MC4-R functions as a key regulator of neuroendocrine signaling pathways that coordinate energy balance, feeding behavior, and metabolic homeostasis. Through its ability to respond to melanocortin peptides, MC4-R serves as an important molecular link between hormonal signals and physiologic regulation of energy utilization throughout the body.
As an energy homeostasis receptor, MC4-R participates in signaling networks that help maintain appropriate balance between energy intake and expenditure. Activation of MC4-R influences intracellular signaling pathways that regulate neuronal activity, endocrine communication, and physiologic responses involved in maintaining metabolic equilibrium. These functions have established MC4-R as one of the most extensively studied receptors involved in systemic energy regulation and neuroendocrine control.
MC4-R is primarily recognized for its role within central nervous system pathways that integrate hormonal, nutritional, and environmental information. The receptor contributes to signaling mechanisms that influence feeding behavior, body weight regulation, and overall metabolic status. Because maintenance of energy homeostasis requires precise communication between neuronal and endocrine systems, MC4-R occupies a central position within conserved physiologic regulatory networks.
Beyond its role in appetite and metabolism, MC4-R has attracted significant research interest in studies of neuroendocrine biology, endocrine signaling, obesity-associated pathways, and developmental physiology. As a GPCR, MC4-R mediates complex signaling events that influence cellular responses to extracellular hormonal cues. Researchers continue to investigate how melanocortin receptor pathways contribute to physiologic adaptation, metabolic regulation, and maintenance of homeostasis under changing environmental conditions.
The biologic importance of MC4-R is underscored by its highly conserved function across vertebrate species and its central role within melanocortin signaling networks. Investigation of MC4-R expression and regulation has provided valuable insight into the molecular mechanisms that coordinate communication between the nervous system and peripheral metabolic tissues. Consequently, MC4-R remains an important target for studies of neurobiology, endocrinology, and metabolic signaling.
MC4-R Antibody is useful for investigating energy homeostasis, appetite regulation, neuroendocrine signaling, melanocortin receptor biology, and metabolic control pathways. Researchers utilize MC4-R Antibody reagents to evaluate protein expression patterns and study molecular mechanisms governing hormone-mediated signaling, physiologic homeostasis, and receptor-dependent cellular responses.

Optimal dilution of the MC4-R Antibody / Energy Homeostasis Receptor Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Amino acids QELRKTFKEIICCYPLGGLCDLSSRY from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the MC4-R antibody.
After reconstitution, the MC4-R antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
