MELANOTAN-2
MELANOTAN-2 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), designed to engage a broad spectrum of melanocortin receptor subtypes (MC1R–MC5R) in controlled laboratory research settings. Supplied as a lyophilized powder in a 3mL vial, it is intended exclusively for in vitro laboratory research by qualified scientific personnel.
This peptide has been utilized in preclinical studies examining broad-spectrum melanocortin receptor binding kinetics, melanogenesis signaling pathways in melanocyte cell models, CNS melanocortin receptor pathway activity, and pigmentation regulatory mechanisms — independent of the broader hormonal effects associated with endogenous α-MSH activity.
