Description
Melanotan II is a cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, engineered with a lactam bridge that constrains its conformation and enhances melanocortin-receptor engagement. Developed during research into the pigmentation pathway, it binds multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes — most notably MC1R, which governs melanin production, and MC4R, which participates in energy-homeostasis and behavioral signaling. That multi-receptor profile is precisely what makes MT2 interesting to researchers: a single tool compound for probing how one ligand's activity distributes across a receptor family with divergent physiological roles. Laboratory applications include melanogenesis assays in melanocyte culture, receptor-selectivity profiling across MC subtypes, and behavioral-model studies focused on MC4R circuitry. Its cyclic structure also makes it a case study in conformational constraint as a design strategy for peptide stability. This 10MG format is standard for melanocortin research programs. The lactam-bridge cyclization strategy it exemplifies is widely taught as a case study in conformational constraint for peptide stability. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.

Frequently asked questions
Are Melanotan II and PT-141 interchangeable research listings?
No. These are separately listed compounds. Compare the documented identity, receptor studies and experimental models instead of assuming that related research topics make them equivalent.
How should the Melanotan II (MT2) 10MG quantity and batch identity be checked?
Read the quantity on the Melanotan II (MT2) 10MG vial label separately from the analytical identity and purity results. Match the product and lot identifier to the available report; a research article is not a certificate for this supplied batch.
What is the purity of Melanotan II (MT2) 10MG?
Review the matching report for Melanotan II (MT2) 10MG in the COA library. Read the reported method, identity information and purity result together, and match the lot identifier to the supplied material.
Is a Certificate of Analysis included with Melanotan II (MT2) 10MG?
Browse the published COA library for Melanotan II (MT2) 10MG. Confirm that an available report matches the supplied product and lot; contact NUPEPS for current batch documentation before purchase.
How fast is shipping for Melanotan II (MT2) 10MG?
Orders placed before 3PM EST ship the same business day from our USA facility. Estimated delivery is 2 business days. Flat $15 shipping per order.
Is Melanotan II (MT2) 10MG for human use?
No. Melanotan II (MT2) 10MG is strictly for laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.
