Melanotan 2

Product Description

Melanotan II is a highly potent synthetic peptide analogue of α-MSH that may elicit melanogenic, aphrodisiac and anorectic effects through non-selective stimulation of melanocortin receptors. Melanotan-II consists of seven amino acids and is a cyclic, shortened lactam variant of alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a multifunctional peptide that regulates a broad array of physiological functions. Melanotan II has been studied extensively for use in protecting against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation from sunlight due to its melanogenic properties.

Purity, Formulation & Physical Appearance

GHPeptides™ Melanotan 2 has a peptide purity level that exceeds 99.0% as determined by HPLC. This peptide was synthesized with no additives and is supplied as a white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Solubility & Storage

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Melanotan 2 in sterile water, which can then be further diluted in other aqueous solutions. Lyophilized Melanotan 2 although stable at room temperature for 3-4 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution, Melanotan 2 should be stored at 4°C out of direct light for between 10-14 days and for future use below -18°C. Prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
