Product description
Lyophilized Melanotan II peptide, 10mg per vial, HPLC-verified to greater than 99% purity. Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), a naturally occurring hormone involved in melanocortin receptor signaling.
In laboratory research, Melanotan II is studied as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist, meaning it interacts with multiple receptor subtypes (MC1R through MC5R) within the melanocortin system. Researchers have examined its role in pigmentation biology, particularly melanogenesis pathways in melanocyte cell models. It has also drawn research interest in the context of appetite-related signaling and energy homeostasis, given the melanocortin system’s broader involvement in these physiological pathways within animal models.
Each vial is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form to preserve peptide stability during shipping and storage. After reconstitution with an appropriate diluent, solutions should be stored refrigerated and used according to your laboratory’s standard handling protocols. See our Reconstitution Guide for detailed instructions.
This product is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only (RUO). It is not a drug, dietary supplement, or cosmetic, and is not intended for human or animal consumption, diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease. Purchasers must be qualified researchers, laboratories, or institutions acquiring this product for legitimate scientific research purposes only, in full accordance with our Terms of Service and RUO Disclaimer.

Melanotan ii reference information
Vial and presentation
Each Melanotan ii vial is supplied as lyophilized powder at 10mg / vial. Vials are inspected before release and shipped in insulated packaging.
Purity and testing
Published results apply to the documented sample. No Certificate of Analysis is published here for this product.
Storage
Store lyophilized material at -20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted for laboratory work, keep at 2–8 °C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitution
Reconstitution for laboratory work is performed with bacteriostatic water or another suitable diluent, added slowly against the vial wall and swirled rather than shaken. Record the volume used so concentrations remain traceable. Supplied for research use only; not for human or veterinary use.
