Melanotan-2 10 mg

Melanotan-2 (10mg) – Tanning & Melanogenesis Research Peptide

Explore melanocortin receptor activity with Melanotan-2 (MT-2), a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Melanotan-2 is widely studied for its ability to stimulate melanogenesis—the physiological process responsible for pigment production in the skin—by binding to MC1R receptors, while also exhibiting activity at central melanocortin pathways.

Key Benefits:

• Stimulates Skin Pigmentation: Promotes melanin synthesis for research into UV-independent skin darkening.
• Photoprotective Research: Evaluated for its potential to enhance natural cutaneous defenses against UV radiation.
• Melanocortin Pathway Activation: Interacts with central receptors involved in appetite regulation and libido signaling.

Ideal For:

• Melanogenesis and skin pigmentation studies
• Photoprotection and UV-defense research
• Central melanocortin receptor signaling modeling

Typical research dosing ranges from 250 mcg to 500 mcg per day (0.25 mg to 0.5 mg daily).

Add 2mL of bacteriostatic water to get a solution that is 5mg/mL, such that every 0.1mL (10 units on an insulin syringe) is equal to 500mcg (0.5mg) of Melanotan-2.

Store unmixed vials in a cool, dark place away from direct light. Once reconstituted, this product must be refrigerated between 2°C – 8°C (36°F – 46°F) and used within 30 days.
