MT-II

Melanotan-2 belongs to a family of peptide hormones that induce pigmentation by interacting with the melanocortin-1 receptor in the skin. Its natural ligand a-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH) is secreted from the pituitary gland or from UV-B exposed keratinocytes/melanocytes in the skin. Activation of the receptor leads to the production of melanin, resulting in a tan. Melanotan-2 is a derivative of a-MSH that also leads to activation of melanin production. Numerous studies have shown that this peptide derivative can induce tanning in human volunteers who are known to tan easily. Recent studies have shown that Melanotan-1 can be combined with UV-B light to act synergistically in the tanning response.

Reconstitution: As a general procedure, the manufacturer recommends reconstituting Melanotan peptides in sterile, distilled water, with light sonication if necessary. How do I store Melanotan II: The manufacturer instructs that both mixed and unmixed vials of Melanotan II should be stored at refrigerator temperature at 2-8 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, mixed vials should be used within 2 months, while vials in powder form will remain stable for up to 1 year. To ensure no cross-contamination vials should always be stored away from food in an enclosed plastic satchel or container.
