MELANOTAN II
Available

Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) studied for its ability to stimulate melanin production, leading to tanning effects. Research also explores its influence on melanocortin receptors involved in libido, appetite regulation, and other physiological pathways.
This vial provides material for laboratory research protocols investigating pigmentation and related effects.
