Research Compound Profile

What Is Melanotan II Peptide?

Melanotan II (also referenced as Melanotan 2, MT-II, MT2, or MTII) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide research peptide modeled on alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been examined in published research literature as a melanocortin receptor agonist research peptide – examined in research models for activity at MC1R and MC4R receptors.

The Melanotan II research peptide supplied by Genryse is synthesized to a verified 99%+ purity threshold, lyophilized for stability, and supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research, analytical work, and controlled scientific study. Genryse Melanotan II is not supplied for human consumption, dietary use, cosmetic use, tanning application, or veterinary application.

Melanotan II sits within the Longevity / Cellular / Wellness Research category as a melanocortin-receptor research peptide alongside NAD+, MOTS-c, SS-31, Thymosin Alpha 1, GHK-Cu, and Cerebrolysin.

Research Context

How Melanotan II Peptide Is Discussed in Research

Melanotan II has been examined in preclinical research models. The published research literature documents investigations into the peptide’s potential influence on cellular signaling pathways relevant to melanocortin receptor research – including MC1R and MC4R receptor research models. None of the descriptions below describe human use, treatment outcomes, tanning application, cosmetic use, or clinical recommendations – they summarize how the Melanotan II research peptide has been characterized in published in-vitro and animal-model studies.

Research investigators have examined Melanotan II Peptide in the context of:

  • Melanocortin receptor (MC1R, MC4R) research in controlled in-vitro systems
  • Receptor binding selectivity research in cell-based assays
  • Cyclic peptide stability research in laboratory models
  • Synthetic α-MSH analog research in animal models
  • Comparative melanocortin agonist research in defined laboratory conditions

All findings discussed in the published research literature are derived from in-vitro and in-vivo animal-model studies and are exploratory in nature. Genryse supplies Melanotan II Peptide as a research peptide for these laboratory-research purposes only.

Melanotan II Peptide – Frequently Asked Questions

What is Melanotan II peptide?
Melanotan II (also referenced as Melanotan 2, MT-II, or MT2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide research peptide modeled on alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been examined in research literature as a melanocortin receptor agonist research peptide. Genryse supplies Melanotan II as a research peptide for in-vitro laboratory research only.
Is Melanotan II a tanning product?
No. Genryse supplies Melanotan II strictly as a research peptide for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not a tanning product, sunless-tan product, cosmetic, beauty, or skincare product. It is not formulated, packaged, or supplied for human use of any kind, including cosmetic use.
Why is Melanotan II in the Longevity / Cellular research category?
Melanotan II is supplied by Genryse strictly as a research peptide for in-vitro melanocortin receptor research. It sits in the Longevity / Cellular / Wellness Research category because melanocortin-receptor research is part of broader cellular-signaling research literature. Genryse does not supply Melanotan II for tanning, cosmetic, or any other consumer use case.
What is the difference between Melanotan I and Melanotan II?
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) and Melanotan II are different research peptides. Melanotan I is a linear 13-amino-acid α-MSH analog research peptide; Melanotan II is a cyclic 7-amino-acid α-MSH analog research peptide with different receptor selectivity profiles examined in research literature. Genryse currently supplies Melanotan II as a research peptide.
What size of Melanotan II does Genryse offer?
Genryse Melanotan II is supplied in a 10mg lyophilized vial. Each vial ships with 99%+ purity verification and a lot-specific COA.
How should Melanotan II research peptide be stored?
Lyophilized Melanotan II should be stored at -20°C until reconstitution, then at 2–8°C following reconstitution. Maintain aseptic handling practices and refer to the lot-specific COA and the Genryse peptide storage guide for full handling protocols.
Is Melanotan II supplied for human use?
No. Melanotan II supplied by Genryse is a research peptide intended exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and analytical study. It is not intended for human consumption, tanning application, cosmetic use, dietary supplementation, veterinary application, or any clinical use.
