Product description:
PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In laboratory research, it is primarily investigated for its activity on melanocortin receptors involved in neuroendocrine communication and central nervous system signaling. Unlike pigmentation-focused analogs, PT-141 is studied for its receptor activity in CNS-related pathways. This lyophilized formulation ensures stability and precision for controlled in vitro research.
