Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring alpha-MSH peptide. Research has studied its role in melanocyte-signaling research, homeostatic signaling research, and energy homeostasis through activation of melanocortin receptors. It has been investigated in preclinical models for its effects on melanocyte-signaling research research and metabolic signaling pathways.
Melanotan IIis provided as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution with bacteriostatic water prior to use in laboratory assays. Store lyophilized product at -20°C for long-term storage. Reconstituted solutions should be stored at 2-8°C and used within 30 days.
