Melanotan II（Cat No.:M028940）is a synthetic peptide that mimics the natural hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Known for its ability to stimulate melanin production, it is primarily used to promote tanning of the skin without UV exposure. Additionally, Melanotan II has been studied for its potential effects on sexual dysfunction and appetite regulation. Its high purity and biological activity ensure consistent results in research and therapeutic applications. This peptide is valuable in dermatological research, developing treatments for skin conditions, and exploring its broader therapeutic potential in medicine.
