Melanotan-II

Melanotan II – Research Peptide

Short Description: Melanotan II is a synthetic peptide studied for its melanocortin receptor activity, including pigmentation and energy balance pathways, in controlled in‑vitro research.

Melanotan II is a synthetic research peptide derived from the natural α‑Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α‑MSH). In laboratory environments, Melanotan II is utilized to study melanocortin receptor activity, particularly the MC1R and MC4R systems involved in pigmentation pathways, energy balance, and cellular signaling mechanisms.

This peptide is manufactured under strict laboratory quality standards and verified with High‑Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to ensure a purity of ≥99%. Melanotan II is intended exclusively for controlled biochemical and pharmacological research in in‑vitro models.
