Overview
Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide developed as an analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH), designed as a research model for investigating melanocortin receptor biology, neuroendocrine signalling and cyclic peptide chemistry.
By shortening and cyclising the naturally occurring peptide, Melanotan II provides researchers with a defined model for exploring how peptide structure, molecular conformation and receptor interactions influence biological signalling within the melanocortin system.
AMINOSPX supplies Melanotan II exclusively for legitimate laboratory, analytical, scientific and in vitro research purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Melanotan II?
Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic seven-amino-acid peptide developed as an analogue of a-MSH. Its compact, cyclic structure provides researchers with a defined model for investigating melanocortin receptor biology and how peptide structure influences receptor signalling.
What research areas is Melanotan II associated with?
Melanotan II is studied as a model for examining signalling across the melanocortin receptor system. Research involving the peptide explores relationships between melanocortin receptor activation, MC4R signalling, melanogenesis-associated pathways and neuroendocrine communication within controlled experimental systems.
What form is Melanotan II 10mg supplied in?
Melanotan II 10 mg is supplied as a white lyophilised powder in a sterile vial, with documented purity greater than 99% by HPLC and third-party laboratory testing.
How should Melanotan II be stored?
The lyophilised material should be stored in a sealed, dry environment below 25°C. Where laboratory reconstitution is undertaken, store reconstituted material at 2–8°C. Avoid freeze–thaw cycles to help preserve product integrity.
