Melanotan 2 is a cyclic alpha-MSH analog research peptide with broad melanocortin receptor activity, studied in pigmentation, incretin-pathway, and MC3R/MC4R signaling research.
Melanotan 2 is a cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-MSH whose ring structure confers potency and stability. Unlike its linear counterpart it engages multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes — including MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R — making it a versatile probe for laboratories mapping receptor-specific effects across pigmentation and central melanocortin signaling models.
Research Applications
Handling & Storage
Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store sealed vials in a cool, dry place away from light; refrigerate after reconstitution with bacteriostatic water and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
This compound is intended for in-vitro research and laboratory use only. Not for human consumption.
Every batch of Melanotan 2 is independently tested for identity and purity, and ships with its own Certificate of Analysis — lot information included, where a researcher can actually find it.
