Melanotan II: Non-Selective Melanocortin Receptor Agonist Research Compound

Global Peptides supplies research grade Melanotan II to laboratories across Australia, supporting studies into melanocortin receptor signalling, pigmentation pathways and neuroendocrine research.

Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide modelled on alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone. Unlike receptor selective compounds, it activates several melanocortin receptors at once, including MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R, which is why it appears across pigmentation, neuroendocrine and metabolic research.

Each batch is produced under controlled manufacturing conditions and undergoes independent laboratory verification, supporting consistent, repeatable results across analytical testing. A Certificate of Analysis is available on request for every order.

What is Melanotan II?

Researchers often ask how this compound is classified and which receptors it engages in experimental systems.

In laboratory models, activity at MC1R is linked to melanin synthesis within pigment cells, while interactions with MC3R and MC4R are examined in central nervous system and energy balance signalling.

Melanotan II is not an approved therapeutic product, and the material supplied by Global Peptides is not intended for tanning, cosmetic purposes or any use outside laboratory research.
