Biotinyl-MCH (salmon)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Product Name | Biotinyl-MCH (salmon) |
| CAS NO. | / |
| Appearance | White to off-white lyophilized powder |
| Molecular Formula | C99H153N29O26S5 |
| Molecular Weight | 2325.82g/mol |
| Purity (RP-HPLC) | ≥ 95.0% |
| Solubility | Soluble in water, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), or dilute acetic acid (e.g., 0.1% v/v). It is recommended to first dissolve in a small volume of 0.1% acetic acid or sterile water to prepare a 0.1–1.0 mg/mL stock solution. |
| Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU/mg (by LAL test, typical for in vitro applications). |
| Biological Activity | Binds to melanin-concentrating hormone receptors (MCHR1/MCHR2) with high affinity, retaining the biological activity of native MCH. The biotin tag allows for detection, purification, or immobilization via streptavidin-biotin interaction. |
| Storage Conditions | Store at -20°C. For long-term storage, store at -80°C. Protect from light and moisture. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or -80°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Stock Location | Stock in USA |
| MOQ | 1g |
1.MECHANISM OF ACTION
The peptide functions as an agonist at G protein-coupled melanin-concentrating hormone receptors (MCHR1 and MCHR2). Upon binding, it activates Gi/o signaling, inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and reducing intracellular cAMP levels, which modulates neuronal activity, food intake, and energy homeostasis. The biotin tag does not interfere with receptor engagement but facilitates downstream applications like pull-down assays and receptor localization studies.
2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS
Biotinyl-MCH (salmon) is indicated for research applications in neurobiology, endocrinology, and metabolism, including receptor binding and internalization assays, immunohistochemical localization of MCH receptors, affinity purification of receptor complexes, and studies of MCH's role in feeding behavior, sleep regulation, and emotional states. It is suitable for both in vitro biochemical studies and ex vivo tissue analysis.
3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT
As a research-grade biotinylated probe, Biotinyl-MCH (salmon) has no established clinical efficacy or therapeutic use. Its utility lies in preclinical research, where it enables the characterization of MCH receptor biology and the validation of MCH as a therapeutic target for obesity, anxiety, and sleep disorders, informing the development of potential clinical candidates but not serving as a drug itself.
