Ractopamine

Catalog No.: A58655
βAR/mTAAR1 Agonist
Ractopamine is a potent β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) agonist, exhibiting a Kd value of approximately 25 nM for porcine β1AR and β2AR, and serves as an mTAAR1 agonist with an EC50 of 16 μM. This compound is known to facilitate muscle mass development, decrease fat deposition, reduce feed intake, and enhance both total cellular protein synthesis and growth rates in swine. Ractopamine is a valuable reagent for research focused on increasing lean tissue growth and improving production efficiency in livestock.
