Description
Product Overview In the study of the central nervous system (CNS), isolating specific receptor pathways is critical. PT-141 is a metabolite of Melanotan II that lacks significant melanogenic (tanning) properties, making it an ideal candidate for isolating and researching the neurological effects of melanocortin system activation.
Mechanism of Action
-
MC4R Agonism: Research indicates PT-141 readily crosses the blood-brain barrier to bind with MC4 receptors, which play a significant role in autonomic nervous system regulation.
-
Non-Vascular Pathway: Unlike compounds that target peripheral blood flow (such as PDE5 inhibitors), PT-141 is studied for its ability to initiate physiological responses directly via central nervous system pathways.
-
Neuromodulation: It is heavily utilized in animal behavioral models to study the neurological triggers of mating behaviors and energy homeostasis.
Quality Assurance
-
Identity: Cyclic Heptapeptide (Melanocortin Agonist)
-
Purity: >99% Verified by HPLC
-
