MRAP2 encodes a protein that modulates melanocortin receptor signaling. Melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein 2 has been shown to interact with all known melanocortin receptors and may regulate both receptor trafficking and activation in response to ligands. Mice lacking a functional copy of MRAP2 exhibit severe obesity and a mutation in MRAP2 may be associated with severe obesity in human patients. 

Human Melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MRAP2 in samples. An antibody specific for MRAP2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMRAP2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MRAP2 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MRAP2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
