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. HelixCore products are batch tested for identity and purity as standard.
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.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Batch tested
Every batch is tested for identity and purity (98%+) before it reaches our UK stock.
