PT-141 – Research Grade Peptide

Lyophilised Powder | ≥99% Purity

PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, is a synthetically manufactured research peptide supplied as a high-purity lyophilised powder. It is characterised as a melanocortin receptor agonist peptide analogue and is supplied strictly for laboratory and analytical research applications.

Research Context

PT-141 is currently studied in laboratory environments for its interaction with melanocortin receptor signalling pathways within the central nervous system. It is characterised as a synthetic melanocortin peptide analogue, demonstrating activity at several melanocortin receptor subtypes including:

• Melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R)
• Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R)
• Melanocortin-5 receptor (MC5R)

In experimental models, compounds within this receptor class are investigated for their potential roles in neuroendocrine melanocortin signalling, hypothalamic pathway regulation, and central nervous system receptor pharmacology.

Research interest in melanocortin agonist peptides such as PT-141 primarily focuses on understanding:

• Melanocortin receptor signalling within hypothalamic neural pathways
• Central nervous system receptor activation and downstream signalling cascades
• Structure–activity relationships of melanocortin peptide analogues
• Peptide pharmacology across melanocortin receptor subtypes

Any reference to receptor activity or biological mechanisms is provided strictly for scientific context within research settings.
