Melanotan II (MT-II) is a research-grade synthetic analog of the melanocyte-stimulating hormone (?-MSH) designed to activate melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R. It is commonly used in controlled laboratory studies to investigate pigmentation pathways, neuroendocrine signaling, and melanocortin-mediated cellular responses.
Researchers utilize Melanotan II to explore mechanisms related to melanin production, receptor affinity mapping, energy balance regulation, and central melanocortin activity. Its ability to interact with multiple melanocortin receptors provides a useful model for studying pigment biology, neural signaling pathways, and comparative melanotropic activity in vitro.
Research Use Only
This product is intended strictly for laboratory and in vitro research applications. Melanotan II is NOT for human or veterinary use, diagnostic procedures, or therapeutic applications. Must be handled only by qualified professionals in a controlled research environment.
Product Care:
Store lyophilized Melanotan II in a cool, dry environment protected from light and moisture.
After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8°C.
For long-term storage, freezing at –20°C is recommended to maintain peptide stability and structural integrity.
