High Purity Melanotan II Peptide Powder 5mg/10mg Kit for Research Use

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that stimulates melanogenesis and was originally developed for potential photoprotective applications. This linear heptapeptide (Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2) demonstrates potent melanotropic activity through binding to melanocortin receptors.

The product is supplied as a lyophilized white powder with molecular formula C17H22N2O4 and molecular weight of 1024.18. Each vial contains precisely measured 5mg or 10mg of peptide with purity ≥99% as verified by HPLC analysis. The material is pharmaceutical grade and produced under strict GMP conditions.

For research purposes only, this compound may be of interest for studies involving:

• Melanocortin receptor signaling pathways
• Pigmentation mechanisms
• UV radiation protection
• Potential metabolic effects

Proper storage conditions are essential for maintaining peptide stability. The product should be kept at -20°C in a dry environment prior to reconstitution. After preparation with appropriate sterile solvent, aliquots should be stored at 4°C for short-term use.

Researchers should note that this material is intended solely for laboratory research applications and not for human consumption. All handling should be performed by qualified professionals using appropriate safety precautions.
