Areas of Research
- Melanocortin Receptors β studied as a non-selective agonist at MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R.
- Melanogenesis β investigated for MC1R-mediated stimulation of melanin synthesis in pigmentation research.
- Appetite & Energy Balance β examined for MC4R-mediated effects on feeding behavior in preclinical models.
- Neuroendocrine Signaling β studied for melanocortin-system involvement in broader neuroendocrine pathways.
Product Care & Storage
- All products are shipped lyophilized, which keeps them stable for shipping for up to 3–4 months. Products must be reconstituted to a liquid by mixing with bacteriostatic water for research and testing.
- Lyophilized / powder form β Store in a cool, dry place away from light; stable at room temperature for several weeks. For long-term storage (months to years), freezing is optimal.
- Reconstituted form β Refrigerate under 39°F; remains stable for up to 30 days.
- Usage β We are unable to provide any dosing instructions; however, all products should be considered pharmaceutical grade.
