About Melanotan-2
Melanotan-2 is a cyclic lactam analog of α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) engineered for potency and stability at melanocortin receptors. Its cyclic structure makes it far more resistant to enzymatic degradation than the native linear hormone.
It is widely used as a reference agonist in melanocortin-receptor pharmacology and melanogenesis research. Supplied lyophilized with independent lot verification.
