Description: Peptide to Melanotan Form: Lyophilized powder Alternative Names: MTII, Melanotan II, Bremelanotide amideCAS 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.
