About this compound

What is Melanotan 2?

Melanotan 2 10mg is a research-grade tanning peptide compound supplied as a sterile lyophilized powder for laboratory research applications. Melanocortin research peptides are studied for their effects on melanogenesis and melanocortin-receptor pharmacology.

Research mechanism

Melanotan I (afamelanotide analog) and Melanotan II act as melanocortin receptor agonists with activity at MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R. Selectivity profiling and downstream cAMP signaling are common research subjects.

Research applications

Research applications include in-vitro melanocyte assays, MC1R receptor-binding studies, and melanin-content quantification.

Storage & handling

Store lyophilized at -20°C. Reconstituted solutions stable refrigerated for typical 14–28 day windows.

Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water using sterile technique. See our FAQ on reconstitution for typical research-grade reconstitution protocols.

Quality verification

  • Identity: Verified via mass spectrometry against theoretical molecular weight.
  • Purity: Greater than 99% measured by reverse-phase HPLC.
  • Endotoxin: LAL-tested per lot to ensure low endotoxin levels suitable for cell-culture and animal-model research.
  • COA: Lot-specific Certificate of Analysis available on request.
