Melanotan II 10mg

High-Purity Melanotan II 10mg for Advanced Research

Product Note: This product is intended for laboratory and scientific research purposes only. It is not for human or veterinary use. All research must be conducted strictly within approved laboratory protocols.

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone ($\alpha$-MSH). Featuring a lactam bridge structure that provides enhanced resistance to enzymatic degradation, Melanotan II acts as a potent, non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist spanning MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R. It is widely investigated in experimental endocrinology and neuroscience models.

Supplied as a sterile, vacuum-sealed lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder pellet in a clear glass vial, this format ensures optimal stability and high purity for precise laboratory handling. Each vial contains 10mg of high-purity Melanotan II, verified via analytical HPLC testing.

Key Research Areas:

Investigation of non-selective melanocortin receptor (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R) activation dynamics.Studies on melanogenesis pathways and cellular pigmentation mechanisms. Research into energy homeostasis, appetite regulation, and central nervous system signaling.Evaluation of cyclic peptide stability and enzymatic resistance models.
