Function

G protein-coupled receptor for melanocyte-stimulating hormones (alpha, beta, and gamma-MSH) and corticotropin/ACTH, which are peptide products of the POMC precursor. Upon activation, couples to G(s) protein, stimulating adenylate cyclase and the cAMP-dependent signaling pathway, which contributes to the regulation of energy homeostasis. Required for expression of anticipatory patterns of activity and wakefulness during periods of limited nutrient availability and for the normal regulation of circadian clock activity in the brain.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Brain, placental, and gut tissues

Protein Biology

Function

G protein-coupled receptor for melanocyte-stimulating hormones (alpha, beta, and gamma-MSH) and corticotropin/ACTH, which are peptide products of the POMC precursor (PubMed:37524700, PubMed:8463333). Upon activation, couples to G(s) protein, stimulating adenylate cyclase and the cAMP-dependent signaling pathway, which contributes to the regulation of energy homeostasis (PubMed:18231126, PubMed:37524700, PubMed:8463333). Required for expression of anticipatory patterns of activity and wakefulness during periods of limited nutrient availability and for the normal regulation of circadian clock activity in the brain (By similarity). Binding of the Agouti-related protein/AGPR antagonist precludes alpha-MSH-induced signaling, blocking cAMP production (PubMed:9311920)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I order or inquire about this product?

Fill out the Online Inquiry form with your required quantity and specifications. You can also email sales@biocrestsci.com. Our team typically responds within 4 business hours with a quote and availability confirmation.

What is the shipping and delivery time?

Orders placed before 2 PM EST ship the same day. Domestic (US) delivery typically takes 2-3 business days. International orders deliver within 5-10 business days. All products are shipped at ambient temperature with appropriate packaging to ensure stability.

How should I store this recombinant protein?

Lyophilized proteins should be stored at -20°C to -80°C upon receipt. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Shelf life is 12 months from date of receipt when stored as recommended.

What quality controls are performed on your products?

Each product undergoes SDS-PAGE purity analysis (typically >85-95%), endotoxin testing, and bioactivity validation. Products are validated for ELISA, Western Blot, and SPR/BLI applications as specified on this product page. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is available upon request.
