🧬 Melanotan II 10mg Lyophilized Peptide (Melanocortin Receptor Agonist)
Product Overview
Quality Research Chemicals offers premium-grade Melanotan II 10mg in highly stable, lyophilized vial formats synthesized exclusively for in-vitro laboratory experimentation, receptor binding assays, and academic research applications. Melanotan II is a synthetic, cyclic analog of the naturally occurring peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).
The molecular structure features a shortened, lactam-cyclized seven-amino-acid sequence designed to enhance stability and binding affinity. This structural modification allows the peptide to function as a potent, non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors, specifically targeting the MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC5 receptor subtypes. The compound serves as an essential reference standard for investigators mapping skin pigmentation pathways, cellular signaling cascades, and appetite regulation mechanisms. Every batch is thoroughly analyzed via third-party validation to guarantee maximum chemical identity and structural purity.

🧪 Primary Research Applications
Melanotan II 10mg vials are manufactured to support advanced multi-disciplinary inquiries across key scientific domains:
- Melanogenesis Pathways: Investigating intracellular signaling mechanisms downstream of MC1 receptor activation to observe melanin synthesis in isolated cellular models.
- Receptor Cross-Reactivity: Mapping the binding kinetics and competitive affinity of cyclic peptides across various cloned melanocortin receptor subtypes.
- Metabolic Signaling: Examining the role of MC4 receptor activation on energy expenditure and homeostatic pathways in cellular environments.
- Structural Stability Modeling: Analyzing how lactam cyclization protects peptide bonds against enzymatic cleavage compared to linear equivalents.
📦 Storage, Stability, and Reconstitution Guidelines
To protect the delicate peptide bonds and ensure reproducible experimental data, proper handling protocols must be maintained. The lyophilized powder should be stored at -20°C for standard lab workflows up to 12 months. For long-term compound archives, it is highly recommended to preserve the vials at -80°C. The compound must be kept completely isolated from moisture, humidity, and direct UV light exposure.
During the reconstitution process, allow the vial to come to room temperature prior to solvent introduction. Reconstitute slowly utilizing sterile bacteriostatic water or sterile saline vector, introducing the liquid gently along the glass sidewall. Do not shake or agitate aggressively, because structural fracturing of the peptide chain may occur. Swirl in a slow, circular motion instead. Once dissolved, aliquot the solution into small, single-test volumes and freeze immediately at -20°C or below to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which induce immediate molecular decay.
