    Description

    MB1® Melanotan II Vial, also known at MT-2 is a high-purity peptide offered in a 10mg lyophilized powder format, intended strictly for laboratory research and development purposes. Manufactured to exceed 99% purity and tested using both HPLC and LC-MS protocols, this peptide is supplied in a sterile, sealed vial to ensure stability and integrity.

    Melanocortin Receptor Agonist

    A Synthetic α-MSH Analog for Pigmentation Research

    Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Developed in the 1980s, this compound targets melanocortin receptors — particularly MC1R and MC4R — making it a valuable tool for researchers investigating pigmentation mechanisms, appetite regulation, and neuroendocrine signaling pathways.

    • Synthetic analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone
    • Targets MC1R (pigmentation) and MC4R (neuroendocrine)
    • Cyclic heptapeptide structure for enhanced stability
    • Developed for melanocortin receptor research
    • High purity for reliable experimental outcomes
    Melanocortin Signaling

    How Melanotan II Activates Pigmentation Pathways

    Melanotan II binds to melanocortin receptors on melanocytes, triggering intracellular signaling cascades that stimulate melanin synthesis and distribution. Through MC1R activation, it promotes eumelanin production — the dark pigment responsible for skin and hair coloration. Its activity at MC4R has also made it relevant for appetite regulation and neuroendocrine research.

    • Activates MC1R on melanocytes for melanin production
    • Stimulates eumelanin synthesis (dark pigment)
    • MC4R activity relevant to appetite and energy studies
    • Cyclic structure provides receptor binding stability
    • Effects accumulate over repeated administration
    Research Applications

    From Pigmentation Studies to Neuroendocrine Research

    Melanotan II has become a key compound for researchers exploring the melanocortin system — one of the body's most important regulatory networks. Its multi-receptor activity makes it valuable for studies spanning pigmentation biology, appetite and feeding behavior, sexual function pathways, and broader neuroendocrine signaling mechanisms.

    • Appetite regulation and feeding behavior research
    • Neuroendocrine signaling pathway exploration
    • MC1R and MC4R selectivity studies
    • Photoprotection mechanism research
