Melanotan II (MT2) is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that stimulates melanogenesis for skin pigmentation. This freeze-dried white powder formulation offers superior stability and purity for research applications.
As a potent melanocortin receptor agonist, Melanotan II demonstrates multiple pharmacological effects including UV radiation protection through melanin production, appetite suppression, and sexual function enhancement. The peptide works by activating MC1R and MC4R receptors to induce these biological responses.
Research indicates Melanotan II may help protect skin cells from UV damage while promoting natural-looking tanning effects. The peptide's ability to stimulate melanin production makes it valuable for studying photoprotection mechanisms.
In addition to its tanning properties, studies suggest Melanotan II may influence metabolic processes through its action on MC4R receptors, potentially affecting body weight regulation and energy expenditure.
This product is provided as a high purity (>99%) lyophilized powder for research purposes only. Proper storage at -20°C is recommended to maintain stability.
