Melanotan II overview
Melanotan II is a cyclic lactam analog of α-MSH employed in laboratory studies of melanocortin receptor subtypes and melanocyte signaling in experimental systems. Research chemical only—not for human or animal use.
Background
Synthesized during melanocortin receptor mapping programs in the late 1980s–1990s.
Research focus areas
Investigators commonly examine Melanotan II across the following experimental themes:
Storage (laboratory handling)
