Melanotan II (MT2) is a synthetic analog of the peptide hormone α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that stimulates melanogenesis, the process of skin pigmentation. This research compound has shown potential in studies related to skin protection and pigmentation disorders.
The peptide works by binding to melanocortin receptors in the body, particularly MC1R, which triggers the production of melanin. This mechanism has made it a subject of scientific interest for potential applications in photoprotection and certain dermatological conditions.
Our Melanotan II peptide powder is provided in lyophilized form with 99% purity as verified by HPLC analysis. The product is manufactured under strict quality control standards in a GMP-certified facility.
