Melanotan II – Research Peptide
Melanotan II is a synthetic research peptide derived from the
natural α-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH).
In laboratory research, Melanotan II is used to study
melanocortin receptor activity, particularly the
MC1R and MC4R receptors, which are involved in
pigmentation pathways, energy balance, and neurological signaling mechanisms.
This peptide is produced according to strict laboratory quality standards and verified using
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to ensure a purity of
≥ 99%.
Melanotan II is intended exclusively for controlled
biochemical and pharmacological research in in-vitro environments.
