PT-141 10 mg

Description

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic cyclic peptide derived from α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Unlike melanocortin analogues primarily investigated for pigmentation, PT-141 has been extensively studied for its interaction with melanocortin receptors, particularly MC3R and MC4R, which are involved in the regulation of neuroendocrine signaling and central nervous system pathways.

Its unique mechanism of action has made PT-141 an important research peptide in studies investigating melanocortin receptor pharmacology, neurobiology, behavioral neuroscience, and endocrine regulation.

Research Applications

• Melanocortin receptor (MC3R/MC4R) research
• Neuroendocrine signaling studies
• Central nervous system investigations
• Receptor pharmacology
• Behavioral neuroscience research
• Peptide-receptor interaction studies
• Experimental endocrinology
• Molecular and cellular biology

This product is supplied as lyophilized powder for research purposes only.

Scientific Background

PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide developed through structural modification of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It functions primarily as an agonist of melanocortin receptors, with significant activity at MC4R and MC3R, receptors widely distributed throughout the central nervous system.

Activation of these receptors has been extensively investigated in experimental models examining neuroendocrine communication, autonomic regulation, and central melanocortin signaling pathways. Unlike earlier melanocortin analogues, PT-141 was specifically designed to investigate receptor-mediated mechanisms independent of skin pigmentation.

Its receptor selectivity and well-characterized pharmacological profile have established PT-141 as a valuable tool in laboratory research involving peptide pharmacology, neuroscience, and endocrine physiology.
