Melanotan 2 Peptide is a synthetic analog of the hormone $\alpha$-MSH. Specifically, it is a non-selective agonist. Therefore, it binds to multiple melanocortin receptors in the body. We offer a high-purity 10mg vial. Currently, it is the primary tool for studying pigmentation. So, labs use it to understand how the skin protects itself from UV rays. Thus, it drives melanin production systemically.
This peptide works by mimicking natural stimulation. First, it binds to the MC-1 receptor in the skin. Then, it triggers melanogenesis. This means the body produces protective pigment. Unlike sunbathing, this happens without UV damage.
However, it also binds to MC-3 and MC-4 receptors in the brain. Consequently, it affects other systems. Specifically, it suppresses appetite and increases arousal. As a result, Melanotan 2 Peptide is used in a wide range of neuroendocrine models.
Frequently, labs use this Melanotan 2 Peptide. Mainly, they use it for photoprotection models. This helps test the skin’s resistance to radiation. Next, researchers check for metabolic effects. Specifically, they measure weight loss due to appetite suppression.
Moreover, it is the parent compound of other agents. Labs often compare it with PT-141.

Ideally, know the difference for your protocol. While Melanotan 2 causes tanning, PT-141 targets arousal selectively. Finally, choose the agent that fits your specific variable.
