What Is PT-141? Research Guide
Definition
PT-141 is a synthetic peptide classified as melanocortin receptor agonist. Researchers study PT-141 for its melanocortin receptor (MC4R) research and neuroendocrine signaling models properties. First identified through established synthetic chemistry protocols, it has become a widely studied tool in laboratory investigation.
PT-141 Mechanism of Action
PT-141 acts as melanocortin receptor agonist. With a molecular weight of approximately 1025.2 Da and a molecular formula of C50H68N14O10, it interacts with specific receptor targets to modulate cellular signaling pathways. The CAS registry number for PT-141 is 189691-06-3.
PT-141 Research Applications
PT-141 is studied in melanocortin receptor (MC4R) research, where researchers investigate its receptor-level and downstream signaling effects in controlled laboratory models.
PT-141 is studied in neuroendocrine signaling models, where researchers investigate its receptor-level and downstream signaling effects in controlled laboratory models.
PT-141 Storage Requirements
Store lyophilized PT-141 at -20°C (-4°F) for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2-8°C (36-46°F) and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as this can degrade peptide integrity. Protect from light and moisture during storage.
