The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-MCHR1 antibody has been validated for WB, ELISA and IHC. It is suitable to detect MCHR1 in samples from Human, Rat and Mouse.
MCHR1, a member of the G protein coupled receptor family 1, is an integral plasma membrane protein which binds melanin concentrating hormone. MCHR1 can inhibit cAMP accumulation and stimulate intracellular calcium flux, and is probably involved in the neuronal regulation of food consumption. Although structurally similar to somatostatin receptors, MCHR1 does not seem to bind somatostatin.
