Melanotan 2 (MT-II) is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with CAS number 121062-08-6. This research compound has shown potential in studies related to skin pigmentation, sexual function, and metabolic regulation.
The peptide works by activating melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R and MC4R, which stimulates melanin production in skin cells. This mechanism has made it valuable for research into photoprotection and UV radiation effects.
In laboratory studies, Melanotan 2 has demonstrated several notable characteristics:
1. Promotes skin tanning through melanogenesis stimulation
2. May influence appetite regulation and lipid metabolism
3. Shows potential effects on sexual function
4. Appears to offer photoprotective benefits
Our MT2 peptide is supplied as a white lyophilized powder with purity exceeding 99%. Each vial contains 10mg of research-grade material. The product is intended for laboratory research purposes only and is not for human consumption.
Researchers should note that Melanotan 2 has a molecular weight of 1024.19 g/mol and the amino acid sequence: Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2. Proper storage at -20°C is recommended to maintain stability.
This product is offered for scientific investigation into melanocortin receptor function and related biological pathways. All research should be conducted in compliance with applicable laws and institutional guidelines.
