Melanotan II (MT2) is a synthetic cyclic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It interacts with melanocortin receptors involved in pigmentation and other physiological signaling processes. Laboratory research has examined its receptor-binding properties and melanocortin pathway activity. Melanotan II is not an FDA-approved tanning product, and its safety profile is not adequately established.
Research Focus: Melanocortin receptors, pigmentation signaling, and receptor pharmacology.
Product Format: Freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder
Handling & Storage: Store sealed in a cool, dry environment protected from direct light. Following laboratory reconstitution, maintain under appropriate refrigerated research-storage conditions.
