Anti-MC5R Antibody Picoband®

Predicted to enable hormone binding activity and melanocortin receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and regulation of metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in skin. Orthologous to human MC5R (melanocortin 5 receptor) .

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of mouse MC5R. Mouse MC5R shares 95.5% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both human and rat MC5R.
