Ractopamine (hydrochloride)

Ractopamine (LY031537) hydrochloride is a potent β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) agonist with Kd value of ~25 nM for pig β1AR and β2AR. Ractopamine hydrochloride is linked to protein metabolism. Ractopamine hydrochloride can be used for researching to increase lean tissue growth and improve production efficiency in pigs[1][2][3].
