Melanotan II

What it is

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Used in research applications for studies on melanocortin receptor (MC1R/MC3R/MC4R) agonism, pigmentation pathways, and appetite/sexual function signaling in preclinical models. Supplied as a 99% purity lyophilized powder with independent HPLC and mass spectrometry verification.

Supplied as a lyophilized powder and sealed against light and moisture — shelf-stable, no cold chain required. Every lot is assayed by an independent laboratory and the certificate is published before the compound is listed. Strictly for in-vitro laboratory research.

Research applications

• Melanocortin Research: Studied in preclinical models for MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R receptor agonism.
• Pigmentation Pathways: Examined in models of melanogenesis and UV-independent tanning response research.
• Research Reliability: 99% purity with third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry verification for consistent experimental outcomes.
• Lot Documentation: Independent COA included with every order for batch traceability.

Storage & handling

For laboratory and research use only. Reconstitute using sterile bacteriostatic water and follow all safety protocols. Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within typical peptide stability window. Not for human consumption.
