*htMVL1 is expressed as Ki value. For MC4R receptors, Ki values were calculated with the equation Ki = IC50/(1+([ligand]/Kd), where IC50 values from competition binding assays; [ligand] = 10 nM Eu-NDP-α-MSH; Kd = 8.3 nM. For CCK2R receptor, where [ligand] = 1 nM Eu-CCK; Kd = 35 nM.

htMVL 2 is expressed as Kd value from saturation binding assay.

Ratio of monovalent (MC4R or CCK2R cells) to bivalent binding (dual receptor expressing cells).

§P < 0.05 (MC4R or CCK2R cells vs. dual receptor expressing cells).

n refers to the number of independent binding experiments.
