Melanotan 2 10mg Peptide Powder for Skin Tanning & Weight Loss - CAS 121062-08-6

Melanotan 2 (MT-II) is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with CAS number 121062-08-6. This white powder peptide is primarily used in research applications related to skin pigmentation and metabolic functions.

The peptide works by stimulating melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R, which triggers melanogenesis - the production of melanin pigment in skin cells. Research indicates MT2 may help protect against UV radiation damage by promoting natural tanning mechanisms without direct sun exposure.

In addition to its tanning effects, Melanotan 2 has shown potential research applications in areas of weight management and sexual function. The peptide appears to influence lipid metabolism and appetite regulation through its action on central melanocortin pathways.

This product is supplied as a lyophilized white powder with purity exceeding 99%. Each vial contains 10mg of Melanotan 2 peptide. Proper storage at -20°C is recommended to maintain stability.

Melanotan 2 represents an important research tool for studying melanocortin receptor function and developing potential therapeutic applications related to skin protection, obesity, and sexual dysfunction. Researchers should follow all applicable guidelines when working with this compound.
