Description:
PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic cyclic peptide analog of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Extensively studied for its role in modulating melanocortin receptors, PT-141 research primarily focuses on pathways related to sexual function, arousal, and potential neurological impacts. Provided as a lyophilized powder, PT-141 supports advanced laboratory research examining melanocortin receptor signaling and physiological responses.

Research Applications:
PT-141 is actively studied for potential roles in:

• Sexual Function and Arousal: Investigating its mechanism of action in enhancing sexual desire and arousal through melanocortin receptor activation.
• Neurological Pathways: Exploring central nervous system interactions related to sexual function modulation and behavior in research models.
• Energy Homeostasis Studies: Examining melanocortin receptor-mediated effects on energy regulation and metabolic signaling pathways.
• Melanocortin Receptor Activity: Assessing its selective agonist effects on MC-3 and MC-4 receptors and related physiological processes.

Storage and Handling:

• Store lyophilized powder at -20°C.
• After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2-8°C and use promptly.
• Maintain aseptic handling practices to ensure sterility and product integrity.

Product Specifications:

• Purity: ≥99% (HPLC Verified)
