Potential Applications in Research
Strictly for in-vitro, cellular, or biochemical experiments. No health, diagnostic, or therapeutic claims.
- Melanocortin receptor signaling (MC1R/MC3R/MC4R) using cAMP reporters (e.g., CRE-luc, HTRF cAMP) to quantify potency/efficacy and desensitization kinetics.
- β-arrestin recruitment & receptor internalization (BRET/ELISA/confocal) to profile trafficking and biased-signaling signatures across melanocortin subtypes.
- Radioligand/competition binding in membrane preparations or intact cells to determine affinity (Ki), association/dissociation rates, and rank-order potency vs. related analogs.
- Melanogenesis pathway readouts in melanocyte cultures (e.g., tyrosinase activity, melanin content) under controlled media/light conditions.
- Analytical method development (RP-HPLC/LC–MS/MS) for identity, stability, and recovery across buffers and temperatures.
Quality, Storage & Handling
Every lot is confirmed by HPLC (purity) and MS (identity); batch COA is accessible via on-vial QR. Independent U.S. labs verify purity, quantity, and endotoxin.
- Storage (lyophilized): −20 °C long-term or 2–8 °C short-term; keep desiccated and protected from light.
- After reconstitution: Aliquot and store at ≤−20 °C (or −80 °C per SOP); avoid repeated freeze–thaw.
- Reconstitution tips: Use sterile water or suitable buffer; gently swirl to dissolve; 0.22 µm filter only if required by your assay.
Shipping & Fulfillment
Ships with validated cold-chain packaging. In-stock orders placed before the daily cutoff ship the same day. 2-Day FedEx/UPS is standard, with overnight options available. Automated text/email updates included; international shipping available where permitted.
Compliance & RUO Disclaimer
For laboratory research only. Not a drug, cosmetic, food, or household chemical. Not for human or animal use, ingestion, diagnostic, or therapeutic applications. Buyers warrant they are qualified to handle RUO materials under applicable laws and institutional guidelines.
FAQs
- Is this intended for human or veterinary use?
- No. This product is sold strictly as RUO and must not be used in humans or animals.
- What purity do you provide?
- Each 20 mg vial is ≥99% by HPLC with MS identity confirmation; third-party testing is performed on every lot (see COA via QR).
- How should I reconstitute it?
- Use sterile water or a compatible buffer; gently invert until fully dissolved. If your protocol requires sterility, pass through a 0.22 µm filter and aliquot to avoid repeat freeze–thaw.
- Which in-vitro assays is PT-141 commonly used in?
- Typical RUO uses include melanocortin receptor cAMP assays, β-arrestin/internalization workflows, radioligand binding, and LC–MS/MS method development.
