Product DescriptionMaterial Purity Mt 2 Powder Polypeptide Skin Tanning Melanotan 2 Peptide Melanotan IIProduct DescriptionProduct DetailsProduct NameMelanotan IIApperanceWhite powderCAS121062-08-6MFC50H69N15O9MW1024.18Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of the melanocortin peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that occurs naturally. In usage, Melanotan II has been revealed to have aphrodisiac and melanogenesis (tanning) effects that have been subjected to clinical trials and preliminary studies. The compound is a cyclic lactam analogue of α-MSH that has an amino sequence named MTII (Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2). Notably, no government drug regulatory agency across the world had approved for the use of any compound incorporating the Melanotan II peptide by 2010Application&FunctionMelanotan II exerts multiple physiological effects mainly associated with its interaction with melanocortin receptors. Its most notable action is stimulating melanogenesis, the process of melanin production in the skin. By binding to MC1R on melanocytes, it activates the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), which in turn upregulates the expression of tyrosinase, an enzyme crucial for melanin synthesis. This results in increased skin pigmentation, making it popular, albeit controversially, as a tanning agent. Additionally, Melanotan II has been reported to influence sexual behavior by binding to melanocortin 4 receptors (MC4R) in the central nervous system, potentially enhancing libido in both men and women. However, its use is not approved for human consumption in many countries due to significant risks. These include potential side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and the risk of developing skin tumors due to uncontrolled melanocyte proliferation. Moreover, since it is not regulated as a drug in most regions, there are concerns about product purity and dosage consistency, highlighting the need for caution when considering its use.SpecificationCertificate of Analysis
