Abstract
This unit describes a Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA) for the measurement of ligand binding to melanocortin receptors (MCRs) using membranes prepared from cell lines stably expressing recombinant MCRs. It provides a facile method for determining the affinity of compounds at MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, or MC5R.
Keywords: melanocortins; melanocortin receptors; SPA; MC1R; MC3R; MC4R; MC5R; NDP???MSH; MSH

Figure 1.28.1 Specific [125 I]NDP‐α‐MSH equilibrium binding for cloned human melanocortin receptor subtypes with time. Data are expressed as specific binding ( B o – NSB) versus time in hours. Each curve was generated by repetitive plate counting at specific time points. Data presented represent MC1R (solid diamonds), MC3R (open squares), MC4R (solid triangles), and MC5R (open circles).

Figure 1.28.2 Displacement of [125 I]NDP‐α‐MSH binding for SHU9119 at cloned human melanocortin receptor subtype. Data are expressed as specific binding ( B o – NSB) versus molar concentration of SHU9119. Each curve was generated by serial diluting SHU9119 in DMSO. Data presented represent MC1R (solid diamonds), MC3R (open squares), MC4R (solid triangles), and MC5R (open circles). View Image
