Melanotan II 10 mg

Description

Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic peptide analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It was developed to investigate the biological functions of the melanocortin system and exhibits affinity for multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes, including MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R.

Due to its broad receptor activity, Melanotan II has become an important research peptide in studies involving melanocortin receptor pharmacology, pigmentation biology, neuroendocrine signaling, and peptide-receptor interactions.

Research Applications

• Melanocortin receptor research (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R)
• Pigmentation biology studies
• Neuroendocrine signaling investigations
• Receptor pharmacology
• Skin physiology research
• Peptide-receptor interaction studies
• Experimental endocrinology
• Molecular and cellular biology

This product is supplied as lyophilized powder for research purposes only.

Scientific Background

Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide derived from α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), an endogenous peptide belonging to the melanocortin family. Structural modifications improve its metabolic stability and receptor affinity compared with the native hormone, making it suitable for experimental research.

Melanotan II interacts with several melanocortin receptor subtypes, particularly MC1R, which has been extensively investigated in pigmentation biology, as well as MC3R and MC4R, which play important roles in neuroendocrine regulation and central nervous system signaling.

Its broad pharmacological profile has made Melanotan II one of the most extensively studied melanocortin analogues in laboratory research involving receptor pharmacology, molecular endocrinology, and peptide signaling.
