Preparation and Storage

Background: MCHR1

MCHR1 (Melanin-concentrating Hormone Receptor-1), also called GPR24 (G-protein Coupled Receptor 24) or SLC1 (Somatostatin Receptor-like 1), is an approximately 44 kDa, seven-transmembrane receptor for MHC. It is most highly expressed in the brain but is also present in peripheral tissues. Engagement of MHCR1 has effects on food intake, energy homeostasis, anxiety and depression, such that rodents treated with small molecule antagonists weigh less and show reduced anxiety and depression in model systems than untreated rodents. Human MCHR1 shares 74% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse MCHR1 between aa 1-113, and 82% with rat MCHR1 between aa 71-113.
