Melanocortin
What is PT-141?
PT-141 (Bremelanotide)
Mechanism of Action
PT-141 is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It activates melanocortin receptors, particularly MC3R and MC4R, in the central nervous system. Unlike other compounds that work through vascular mechanisms, PT-141 works through neural pathways, making it a subject of unique research interest.
