Research Information
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic 7-amino-acid analogue of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied for its role in melanocortin receptor research. Unlike the older MT-2, it acts primarily on MC4R rather than MC1R. Researchers are interested in melanocortin receptors because they're involved in pathways linked to sexual behaviour, appetite regulation, and inflammation in cell-culture and animal-model studies. Published work has used cell lines expressing the different melanocortin receptor subtypes to examine selectivity and downstream signalling.
Research areas
- Melanocortin receptor (MC3R/MC4R) selectivity studies
- cAMP signalling pathway research
- Receptor subtype comparison studies
- Melanocortin-related neuropeptide research
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. All products are third-party tested for identity and purity.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
