Melanotan 2 research profile

Overview

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied in laboratory research into the melanocortin receptor system. Its cyclic structure gives it stability that makes it a common research reference in this receptor family.

Supplied lyophilised for in-vitro research use only, HPLC-characterised with a per-batch Certificate of Analysis.

Studied in

• Melanocortin-receptor (MC1R–MC5R) signalling research in vitro
• Comparative α-MSH-analogue characterisation
• Peptide-cyclisation and stability research

Laboratory handling

Supplied lyophilised. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic or sterile water for laboratory preparation; store the powder cold and away from light.

Melanotan 2 is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. This page describes areas of scientific study and does not make any therapeutic, dosing, or human-use claim.
