Melanotan II Research Peptide

Description:
Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of the natural hormone α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone). It has been studied in preclinical settings for its ability to bind to melanocortin receptors, which are involved in skin pigmentation, energy balance, and sexual function pathways.

Research Notes:

• Investigated for its role in stimulating melanogenesis (skin pigmentation).

• Studied for melanocortin receptor activity in animal models.

• Research interest in UV protection models, appetite regulation, and sexual behavior.

• Demonstrated in preclinical research to increase tanning effects without UV exposure.

• Stable when stored lyophilized; reconstituted solution should be kept refrigerated.

Form & Storage:

• Form: Lyophilized powder, ≥98% purity (HPLC).

• Store dry: -20 °C, protect from light/moisture.

• Store reconstituted: 2–8 °C, avoid freeze–thaw cycles.
