Product Details
Description:
PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic heptapeptide and an active metabolite of Melanotan II. It is a cyclic peptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with the amino acid sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-OH.
In a research context, PT-141 is characterized as a non-selective agonist of the melanocortin receptors, with notable affinity for the MC3 and MC4 subtypes (MC3-R and MC4-R). It is used as a tool in preclinical *in vitro* studies to investigate the signaling pathways of the central nervous system, particularly those related to the melanocortin system’s influence on cellular function.
