PT-141

Description

PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide derived from Melanotan II, itself an analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is studied in laboratory research related to melanocortin receptor pathways, particularly MC3R and MC4R subtypes, which are involved in a range of central nervous system signaling processes. Unlike Melanotan II, PT-141 has a more targeted receptor binding profile, making it useful for isolating specific melanocortin pathway effects in research models. Supplied as a lyophilized vial. This product is intended exclusively for laboratory research in controlled environments by qualified personnel. It is not a medication, carries no regulatory approval for human use, and is not intended for human consumption, therapeutic use, veterinary use, or cosmetic use. Handling, storage, and disposal should follow applicable laboratory biosafety guidelines.
