Laboratory Product Information

📦 Includes

One (1) vial of Melanotan-2 lyophilized powder (7mg per vial), Certificate of Analysis (COA).

🔬 Purpose

Melanotan-2 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It is studied in in-vitro melanocortin receptor (MC1R–MC5R) binding assays for characterization of receptor subtype selectivity, cAMP signaling, and melanogenesis pathway activation.

🧬 Ingredients

Melanotan-2 (Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH₂) cyclic heptapeptide lyophilized powder, ≥99% purity (HPLC verified). No fillers, binders, or excipients.
