About Melanotan 2 in research

Researchers use Melanotan 2 to interrogate melanocortin receptor subtype engagement, quantify downstream second-messenger responses, and compare potency/selectivity within the α-MSH family. These studies focus on receptor pharmacology and assay readouts exclusively in controlled, non-clinical in-vitro environments.

Synthesis & quality

Manufactured via controlled, validated peptide-synthesis processes to deliver high purity and lot-to-lot consistency. Each batch undergoes identity, purity, and appearance checks before release.
