Functional context (as provided): Tyrosine-protein phosphatase which acts as a regulator of endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. Mediates dephosphorylation of EIF2AK3\/PERK; inactivating the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK3\/PERK. May play an important role in CKII- and p60c-src-induced signal transduction cascades. May regulate the EFNA5-EPHA3 signaling pathway which modulates cell reorganization and cell-cell repulsion. May also regulate the hepatocyte growth factor receptor signaling pathway through dephosphorylation of MET. . Reported cellular localization context: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Interacts with EPHA3 at the cell membrane. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Highly expressed in surface mucosal cells of respiratory tract and stomach epithelia. Overexpressed in a number of carcinomas. Also expressed in Barrett's esophagus epithelium and in the proximal duodenum. .\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eResearch context keywords from the source record include: Antiviral Signaling,Atherosclerosis,Cardiovascular,Chemokines,Immune System Diseases,Immunology,Innate Immunity,Vascular Inflammation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent studies often focus on connecting target abundance\/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting (WB):\u003c\/strong\u003e assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorkflow ideas (metafield): Validate MC4R antibody specificity using KO\/KD control samples (WB\/IF\/IHC as appropriate), Detect MC4R expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Compare relative MC4R levels across experimental conditions (dose\/time-course) using antibody-based readouts\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 250 kDa; calculated MW: 49967 MW).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO\/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eAdditional product details (from the source record)\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular weight (observed):\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 kDa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellular localization (provided):\u003c\/strong\u003e Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side .
