Ractopamine (LY031537 free base) is a potent beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) agonist with Kd value of ~25 nM for pig beta1AR and beta2AR. Ractopamine is linked to protein metabolism. Ractopamine is structurally similar to the natural catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine, and binds with high affinity to betaAR in pig adipose and muscle tissue. Ractopamine can be used for researching to increase lean tissue growth and improve production efficiency in pigs[1][2][3].
