Melanotan II

Buy Melanotan II Peptide – Overview

If you’re a qualified researcher looking to buy Melanotan II for scientific investigation, this high-purity peptide offers reliable consistency and performance. Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), commonly studied for its effects on melanin stimulation, pigmentation, and sexual arousal pathways.

Product Specifications

• Form: 10mg Lyophilized Powder (≥98% purity)
• Packaging: 3mL sterile glass vial
• Reconstitution: Requires bacteriostatic water or another suitable solvent
• Appearance: Solid, white powder

Applications in Research

Melanotan II has been studied extensively for its interaction with melanocortin receptors, especially MC1R and MC4R. It plays a potential role in melanogenesis, which is the process of melanin production in the body. Researchers continue to explore Melanotan II for its broader physiological impact, including sexual function and energy regulation.

This makes it a key peptide in studies focused on pigmentation and hormone response, which is why many labs buy Melanotan as part of their experimental peptide libraries.

Structure and Synthesis

Melanotan II is a cyclic heptapeptide, identified by the sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH₂. It is synthesized using a combination of solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis, followed by lactamization. This structure allows it to bind effectively to target receptors and perform in controlled laboratory environments.

Researchers choosing to buy Melanotan II are often interested in these receptor interactions and their experimental outcomes.

Mechanism of Action

Melanotan II acts as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors. These receptors are involved in various physiological functions, including:

• Pigmentation
• Energy balance
• Sexual function
• Immune responses

Because of its broad activity, Melanotan II is considered valuable in preclinical and in-vitro studies.

Storage Instructions
