Research overview

About this compound

Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), cyclized through a lactam bridge.

How it is used in research

It is a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R) and is used to study melanocortin receptor signalling.

Analytical characterization

Synthetic peptides are usually characterized by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which reports purity as the share of the main peak, and by mass spectrometry, which confirms that the measured molecular mass matches the expected sequence. Results for a specific lot appear under Lab results once they have been posted.
