Melanotan-2 Melanocortin Receptor Peptide for Research
Technical Overview
Melanotan-2 is a synthetic cyclic analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In research settings it is used to investigate melanocortin receptor (MC1R–MC5R) signaling and pigmentation pathways. Synthesized via SPPS and purified to analytical standards by HPLC.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder which offers researchers a well-characterized material for studying melanocortin receptor activity and related signaling mechanisms. Its defined structure and high purity support consistent preparation and dependable, repeatable results across laboratory experiments, from early assay development to detailed follow-up studies. Storing the vial at the recommended temperature helps preserve peptide integrity and supports reliable, repeatable laboratory results.
