Description
Melanotan II (MT-2) — Research Specification

Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), developed as part of a melanocortin receptor research program at the University of Arizona beginning in the 1980s. The compound is structurally characterized by a cyclic lactam bridge and demonstrates binding affinity to MC-1R, MC-3R, MC-4R, and MC-5R receptor subtypes within the melanocortin receptor family.

Published literature referencing Melanotan II includes investigations into melanocortin receptor subtype pharmacology, ligand-receptor binding kinetics, structure-activity relationships within cyclic α-MSH analogs, and in vitro receptor activation assays. The compound is referenced in biochemical research examining receptor selectivity differences between melanocortin family analogs.

Supplied as lyophilized powder for in vitro research and laboratory investigation only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not evaluated by the FDA.

Storage Instructions:

All of our products are manufactured using the Lyophilization (Freeze Drying) process, which ensures that our products remain 100% stable for shipping for up to 3-4 months.
Once the peptides are reconstituted (mixed with bacteriostatic water), they must be stored in the fridge to maintain stability. After reconstitution, the peptides will remain stable for up to 30 days.

Lyophilization is a unique dehydration process, also known as cryodesiccation, where the peptides are frozen and then subjected to low pressure. This causes the water in the peptide vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure known as lyophilized peptide. The puffy white powder can be stored at room temperature until you’re ready to reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water.

Once peptides have been received, it is imperative that they are kept cold and away from light. If the peptides will be used immediately, or in the next several days, weeks or months, short-term refrigeration under 4C (39F) is generally acceptable. Lyophilized peptides are usually stable at room temperatures for several weeks or more, so if they will be utilized within weeks or months such storage is typically adequate.

However, for longer term storage (several months to years) it is more preferable to store peptides in a freezer at -80C (-112F). When storing peptides for months or even years, freezing is optimal in order to preserve the peptide’s stability.
