Melanocortin 1 Receptor
ExpressMAX™ Expression-ready Human GPCR ORF Clones
Product Overview:
Melanocortin 1 Receptor is encoded in Humans by the MC1R gene. This gene is an important component in determining normal Human pigment variation. It is a member of the GPCR family and controls melanogenesis. Binding of MSH to its receptor activates the receptor and stimulates eumelanin synthesis. MC1R is a major factor in sun sensitivity and is a genetic risk factor for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer.
