Melanotan II (MT2) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This research peptide is known for its ability to stimulate melanogenesis - the process of melanin production that leads to skin pigmentation.
The peptide works by activating melanocortin receptors in the skin, which triggers the production of melanin. This mechanism allows for tanning effects without requiring direct UV exposure, potentially reducing risks associated with sun damage.
Beyond its tanning properties, research suggests Melanotan II may influence lipid metabolism, appetite regulation, and sexual function through its action on various melanocortin receptors throughout the body.
Our MT2 peptide is provided as a lyophilized white powder with exceptional purity (>99.99%), making it suitable for various research applications. The product is carefully manufactured under strict quality control standards to ensure consistency and reliability.
