Product details

A multi-receptor melanocortin analogue.

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It is studied through melanocortin receptors including MC1R and MC4R, giving it a multi-receptor research profile across pigmentation, melanocortin signalling and receptor-selectivity models. This 10 MG Melanotan 2 peptide is supplied as a lyophilized vial in the range of research peptides from NZM-Labs.

Each production lot undergoes independent HPLC purity analysis and mass-spectrometry identity testing, with the corresponding analytical documentation available by lot number. For laboratory research only.

MC1R-driven

Pigmentation Pathway

Melanotan 2 is a cyclic α-MSH analog with affinity higher than the endogenous ligand. MC1R activation drives melanogenesis pathway research; MC4R activation drives the satiety / arousal side of the dual receptor profile.

MC4R modulation

Energy Balance

MC4R agonism in CNS research models modulates the central appetite pathway and arousal response - distinct from peripheral pigmentation-pathway effects.

Questions?
We have answers.

(01)

MT1 vs MELANOTAN 2 - what's the difference?

MT1 (afamelanotide) is MC1R-selective; MELANOTAN 2 binds both MC1R and MC4R. The MC4R activity is what produces the energy-balance side of MELANOTAN 2's research profile that MT1 lacks.

(02)

How is the Certificate of Analysis verified?

Every lot is sent to Janoshik Analytical for independent HPLC and mass spectrometry testing. The COA you receive is theirs, not ours - searchable by lot number on our Science page, no account required.

(03)

How is the product shipped?

Lyophilized vials are shipped across the EU. Store sealed vials below 16°C after delivery. Typical delivery takes 3–5 working days.

(04)

Is this a research product?

Yes. NZM peptides are sold strictly for in vitro and animal research use only. They are not for human consumption, off-label use, or clinical application. Please consult applicable local regulations before ordering.
