ChemiSCREEN™ MC1 Melanocortin Receptor Membrane Preparation

Background Information:

The ChemiSCREEN™ MC1 Melanocortin Receptor Membrane Preparation is derived from proprietary stable recombinant cells to ensure high levels of MC1R surface expression. ChemiSCREEN™ membrane preps can be used to screen for ligand binding affinities using a competitive radio-labeled ligand approach. Increased binding affinities will lead to higher radioactive signal. Membrane preps contain 1mL of 1mg/mL frozen membranes derived from a stably modified clonal cell line which was chosen for optimal receptor expression.
