Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic peptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, investigated for its interaction with melanocortin receptors and its role in pigmentation-related signalling pathways.
Developed exclusively for controlled laboratory and analytical research.
Melanotan II
Effects vary and are not guaranteed; safety has not been established.
Risks: nausea, changes in moles, prolonged erections.
Pigmentation does not protect against UV radiation and does not replace sun protection.
Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone studied for its activity at melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R. Laboratory research examines downstream cAMP signalling, melanogenic gene expression and eumelanin synthesis.

PDF GUIDEVisual overview of Melanotan II and melanocortin signalling.
PDF GUIDEMelanotan II is a cyclic peptide analogue of α-MSH, a hormone in the melanocortin family. It is studied for its activity at several receptors in this family.
MC1R helps regulate melanin production by melanocytes. Its activation is a pathway studied in pigmentation. This mechanism does not support presenting a research product as a tanning product.
No. Melanocortin receptors are involved in several biological functions. Reducing Melanotan II to a simple effect on skin colour would therefore be incomplete.
Melanotan I and Melanotan II have different structures, including a cyclic structure for Melanotan II. Their activity profiles must not be assumed identical; a publication about one is not enough to describe the other.
No. A sun-protection factor or protection from UV-related damage must not be attributed to this product. A change in pigmentation does not replace sun-protection measures.
No. The reference shown is a laboratory product. It is not a validated cosmetic formulation or a product intended for personal use.
Review the analytical documentation available for the batch and confirm that it matches the reference ordered. Identity, purity and quantity are different pieces of information. A purity percentage alone does not establish sterility or the absence of endotoxins.
Follow the conditions on the label and in the batch documentation, together with your laboratory’s validated procedures. Conditions for a lyophilized powder may differ from those for a solution. Without reference-specific data, do not infer stability from another product.
No. This reference is intended for laboratory research, not human consumption or personal medical use. Scientific explanations are not prescriptions, and the quantities shown per vial are not usage doses.
