Melanotan II 10MG (MT2)

What is Melanotan II?

Melanotan II (also written MT-2, MT2, or Melanotan 2) is a synthetic cyclic peptide studied as an agonist of the melanocortin receptor family. In laboratory research it is used as a reference compound for investigating melanocortin signalling and the biology of melanin production and UV-response pathways. Lazarus Labs supplies Melanotan II in Australia as a 10 mg lyophilised reference material at ≥ 99 % purity, with a certificate of analysis for every lot. For research use only — not for human or veterinary use.

Research context

Melanotan II belongs to the melanocortin-agonist class of research peptides and is studied for its broad activity across melanocortin receptor subtypes. Laboratories use it as a comparison compound in receptor-binding and pigmentation-pathway studies. It is supplied strictly as a reference material for that work.
