Melanotan II
Product Overview
Melanotan II
Format: Vial | Amount: 10mg | Price: €42.90
Overview:
Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts as a non-selective agonist across multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes, making it a broadly applicable compound in pigmentation biology research.
Its wide receptor activity profile also makes it relevant to studies examining autonomic signalling and CNS-mediated pathways beyond pigmentation, distinguishing it from more selective melanocortin compounds such as PT-141.
Research Applications:
- Studying melanocortin receptor activation and the downstream cellular signalling that governs melanin production
- Investigating how synthetic α-MSH analogues modulate pigmentation pathways in controlled in-vitro models
- Examining the broader receptor activity profile of non-selective melanocortin agonists across MC1R through MC5R subtypes
- Comparative research into selective versus non-selective melanocortin receptor agonism alongside PT-141
Commonly Paired With:
Frequently studied alongside PT-141 in comparative melanocortin receptor research. Bacteriostatic Water required for reconstitution, available separately. Reconstitute gently; do not shake.
