Description:Peptide to MelanotanForm:Lyophilized powderAlternative Names:MTII, Melanotan II, Bremelanotide amide
CAS Number:121062-08-6Molecular Formula:C50H69N15O9Molecular Weight:1024.2Purity:> 95%Chemical Structure:Ac-Nle-Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys-NH2 (Lactam bridge Asp2-Lys7)Application:Melanotan II, a cyclic MSH analog, is a potent full agonist of the melanocortin-3 and melanocortin-4 receptors (MC3-R and MC4-R). Intracerebroventricular administration of MTII inhibited feeding in four different mouse models of hyperphagia. MTII is a valuable tool for the study of the agouti obesity syndrome and of the role of melanocortinergic neurons in feeding.Storage/Stability:Shipped at 4°C. Store at -20°C for one year.
