Melanotan-II

Melanotan-II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-MSH used as a reference compound in pigmentation research. This profile covers its identity, classification, and laboratory handling.

Identity & classification

Melanotan-II is a synthetic cyclic seven-amino-acid peptide (a heptapeptide) analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that acts as a non-selective agonist at melanocortin receptors. Molecular formula C50H69N15O9; molecular weight approximately 1024 g/mol.

Research context

Melanotan-II is used as a reference melanocortin-receptor agonist in in-vitro and preclinical pigmentation research.

Forms & handling

Supplied lyophilized for laboratory research use only. Store refrigerated and protected from light (shelf life up to 2 years refrigerated); reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for laboratory use and keep reconstituted material refrigerated, where it is stable for up to 60 days depending on the compound.
