Technical Data
| A synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) that acts as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist, widely researched for its central mechanisms in modulating pathways. | |
|---|---|
| Key Benefits & Highlights | |
| Central Nervous System Mechanism | Operates centrally via the brain rather than acting directly on the vascular system, targeting neural pathways. |
| Melanocortin Receptor Agonism | Binds with high affinity to melanocortin receptors, primarily MC3R and MC4R, to modulate neuroendocrine signaling in central nervous system models. |
| Dopaminergic & Behavioral Signaling | Researched for its ability to trigger downstream dopamine release in the medial preoptic area (mPOA), influencing behavior and motivational dynamics. |
| High Chemical Purity | Synthesized and analytically tested to ensure exact cyclic peptide sequence fidelity and minimal experimental variance. |
| Standardized Research Reagent | Formulated for high reproducibility across in vitro receptor binding assays, neuroendocrine pathway mapping, and other model studies. |
| Feature Summary | |
| Product Class | Synthetic Cyclic Peptide / Melanocortin Receptor Agonist (MC3R/MC4R) |
| Primary Application | In vitro central nervous system receptor activation & neuroendocrine research |
| Grade | Laboratory / Research Grade Only |
