MT2 - Melanotan II

Melanotan II | Non-Selective Melanocortin Receptor Agonist

We offer high-purity Melanotan II, a synthetic, cyclic peptide analogue of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This compound is supplied as a lyophilized powder, ensuring maximum stability and potency for your laboratory research needs.

Melanotan II is a potent, non-selective agonist of the melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R). This broad-spectrum activity makes it a unique tool for scientists studying the diverse physiological roles of the melanocortin system. Researchers utilize this peptide in in-vitro models to investigate the complex signaling pathways and downstream cellular effects that result from the simultaneous activation of multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes.
