Melanotan 2 (10mg)

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring peptide
alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), developed as part of research
into melanocortin receptor agonism and its downstream physiological effects.

Compound Details (per vial):
— Melanotan II: 10mg
— Form: Lyophilized powder
— Purity: ≥98%

Melanotan II functions as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist with
high affinity for MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R subtypes. In pigmentation research,
MC1R activation is studied for its role in stimulating eumelanin production in
melanocytes, driving research into photoprotection and UV-independent
pigmentation pathways. MC4R agonism has made MT-2 a widely referenced compound
in hypothalamic energy homeostasis research, with studies examining its effects
on appetite regulation, energy expenditure, and body weight modulation in
murine models. MT-2 is also extensively studied in sexual function research
through its MC4R-mediated effects on the central nervous system, where it
has been examined in models of erectile function and libido regulation. Its
cyclic heptapeptide structure provides greater metabolic stability than
native α-MSH.

Supplied lyophilized in a sterile sealed vial. Third-party tested for identity
and purity prior to release. Not for human consumption. For research use only.
