A synthetic analog of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist. Research literature examines its role in melanogenesis (skin pigmentation), UV photoprotection, and appetite and libido pathways via MC1R and MC4R signaling. For research use only.

Research

What it is being studied for

Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone that binds several melanocortin receptors rather than acting on one. Research has examined melanogenesis, the pigment-producing pathway associated with the MC1R receptor, and separately the part melanocortin signalling plays in appetite regulation and sexual arousal, which are associated with MC4R. Because the compound is not selective, work in this area also has to account for activity at receptors other than the one under study. The consequences of non-selective melanocortin agonism are not well characterised.

Answered by our research and quality team
What is Melanotan II as a research peptide?

Melanotan II is a research-grade melanocortin peptide supplied strictly for in-vitro and pre-clinical laboratory study. Each vial ships sealed and lyophilized. It is not intended for human consumption or any clinical, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.

What is Melanotan II studied for in research?

In published and ongoing laboratory research, Melanotan II is being investigated in relation to melanogenesis and skin pigmentation; UV photoprotection pathways; appetite and libido signaling. Amino House supplies the compound for that research only and makes no therapeutic or medical claims.

Is it legal to purchase research peptides in the EU?

Research peptides are sold strictly as laboratory reference materials for in-vitro and pre-clinical use, which is lawful across the EU and EEA when not marketed or used for human consumption. Buyers are responsible for compliance with local research regulations.

How quickly will my order be delivered and which carriers do you use?

Orders placed before 15:00 CET, Monday–Friday, ship the same business day, tracked EU-wide. Melanotan II ships tracked, in tamper-evident packaging.

How should this be stored?

Store sealed vials at room temperature, somewhere cool and dark. The fridge or freezer is optional while they stay sealed. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep them in the fridge at 2–8 °C, out of the light.

Does Amino House offer bulk or wholesale orders?

Yes. Multi-vial bundle pricing is shown on every product page, and dedicated wholesale and partner pricing is available for labs and clinics that reorder. See the Partner Program page or contact us for an institutional quote.
