Melanotan-2 10mg

Melanotan-2 – 10 mg | For Research Use Only – Not for Human Consumption

Melanotan-2 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of the endogenous α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), designed to bind with high affinity to the melanocortin receptor subtypes (MC1R–MC5R). Supplied in a 10 mg research-grade lyophilized format, this compound is manufactured to rigorous quality specifications and validated using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) to ensure high purity, molecular fidelity, and experimental reliability.

Scientific Overview

Melanotan-2 functions primarily through MC1R activation, mimicking the melanogenic effects of α-MSH to promote melanin synthesis (melanogenesis) in epidermal melanocytes. Its chemical stability and receptor affinity exceed that of Melanotan-1, resulting in greater bioactivity in experimental pigmentation models. Notably, Melanotan-2 also exhibits partial agonism at MC3R and MC4R, implicating it in the regulation of appetite suppression, sexual arousal, and thermoregulation in rodent studies.

Research Applications

• Pigmentation and Melanogenesis Research
  Investigate melanocyte activity, melanin biosynthesis, and UV-independent pigmentation pathways. Melanotan-2 enables in vitro modeling of tanning responses and protective melanin upregulation in dermatological research.

• Photoprotection Studies
  Study potential UV-radiation resistance mechanisms, oxidative stress modulation, and DNA damage response pathways associated with melanin density and photoprotective effects.

• Neuroendocrine Function and Behavioral Research
  Explore the peptide's impact on central melanocortin signaling related to satiety regulation, sexual behavior, and hypothalamic-pituitary interactions in preclinical models.
