Description:
Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic peptide studied for its dual role in skin pigmentation (tanning) and sexual function. It acts on melanocortin receptors, influencing melanin production and libido-related pathways. Supplied as a high-purity lyophilized powder, MT-II is widely used in preclinical research to explore melanogenesis, sexual arousal, and energy metabolism. This peptide is intended strictly for laboratory and research use only and is not approved for human or veterinary applications.
Research Applications:
- Tanning & Melanogenesis Research – Studying melanin production and pigmentation pathways
- Sexual Function & Libido Studies – Investigating melanocortin receptor effects on sexual arousal
- Energy Metabolism Research – Exploring MT-II’s influence on appetite and metabolic pathways
- Preclinical Hormonal Studies – Research in neuroendocrine and receptor-mediated signaling
Storage and Handling:
- Store at -20°C, protected from light and moisture
- Store at 2–8°C, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
- Use sterile laboratory techniques to maintain peptide integrity
Product Specifications:
- Appearance: White to off-white lyophilized powder
- Purity: ≥ 98% (HPLC verified)
- Solubility: Soluble in sterile BAC water or compatible buffers
Compliance Notice:
Melanotan II (MT-II) is intended strictly for research and laboratory use only. It is not approved for human or veterinary use and has not been evaluated by any regulatory authority. Unauthorized use is strictly prohibited. Users must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
