Description:

Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), known for its high affinity to melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R and MC4R. In research settings, Melanotan II is primarily studied for its melanogenesis-stimulating effects, as well as its potential roles in sexual function, appetite regulation, and energy homeostasis.

Its ability to stimulate melanin production has made it a focus in dermatological and photoprotection research, particularly in studies related to UV resistance and pigmentation pathways.

Applications in Research:

• Melanogenesis and pigmentation studies

• Melanocortin receptor binding assays

• Photobiology and UV-protection models

• Research on sexual function and neuropeptide signaling

• Appetite and metabolic regulation studies

Important Notice:
Melanotan II is supplied for scientific research purposes only. It is not intended for human or animal use, including but not limited to therapeutic, cosmetic, or diagnostic applications. Use only in appropriately equipped laboratories following institutional safety protocols.
