Description
High-Level Summary
Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied for its role in stimulating melanin production and influencing mood-related pathways. Originally developed for research into skin pigmentation, it has also shown potential in appetite suppression, sexual function, and mood regulation models.
– Form: Lyophilized peptide
– Purity: >99%
– Origin: Manufactured and tested in the USA
– Storage: Store at -20°C dry; refrigerate after reconstitution
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Melanotan II binds to melanocortin receptors (primarily MC1R and MC4R), which are involved in melanin synthesis and mood regulation. Activation of these receptors can stimulate pigmentation pathways and may influence appetite and arousal mechanisms in animal studies.
Research Applications
– Melanin stimulation and pigmentation research
– Neuroendocrine and mood regulation pathways
– Appetite and energy homeostasis models
Key Benefits for Research
– Strong binding to melanocortin receptors
– Explores complex mood and pigmentation pathways
– Central nervous system and dermatologic crossover potential
