This page does not describe pigmentation, appetite, or any personal-use outcome.
Research Applications (Non‑Medical)
Melanotan II is widely used in melanocortin‑receptor research, particularly involving MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R signalling in controlled in‑vitro systems.
Key research applications include:
- Receptor‑binding assays — used to evaluate affinity and receptor‑subtype selectivity across the melanocortin family.
- Intracellular signalling studies — supports research into cAMP accumulation, PKA activation, and downstream transcriptional responses.
- Structure–activity analysis — applied in comparisons of cyclic vs. linear melanocortin analogues to evaluate stability and receptor bias.
- Peptide‑stability modelling — used to study enzymatic degradation and cyclic‑peptide resistance to proteolysis.
- Analytical method development — suitable for validating chromatographic separation of cyclic heptapeptides.
Molecular Characteristics
- Type: Cyclic heptapeptide melanocortin analogue.
- Form: Lyophilized powder (10 mg).
- Identity: Verified via MS and HPLC/UPLC.
- Biochemical Notes:
- Cyclic structure enhances stability and receptor affinity.
- Solubility varies with pH; performs best in mildly acidic buffers.
- Stability:
- Stable in dry form; sensitive to hydrolysis and oxidation in solution.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures.
❄️ Storage & Handling
- Store at −20 °C, protected from humidity and light.
- Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles; aliquot according to your laboratory SOP
📄 Documentation / COA Visibility
- COA includes MS identity, HPLC purity, solvent system, and lot traceability.
- RUO‑only; not for human or veterinary use.

Questions about this listing
How do I match a Melanotan II lot to its Certificate of Analysis?
Open the certificate for this product and follow the Janoshik link on that row. The link host is verify.janoshik.com or janoshik.com. Copy the task identifier, the sample name, the date, and the labelled amount. A photograph of a report is not the report. That row is the Melanotan II listing. It does not document Melanotan I, PT-141, or KPV.
What does research-use-only mean on the Melanotan II listing?
Melanotan II is sold for laboratory work. It is not a medicine, food, cosmetic, or veterinary product. Research-use-only labelling is not a Health Canada authorization. Authorized drugs in Canada carry a Drug Identification Number.
How is Melanotan II shipped and paid for in Canada?
Paid orders ship on Canada Post Xpresspost inside Canada after Interac e-Transfer to BlueNexLabs@gmail.com. Put the order number in the Interac message field. $25.00 flat rate; free on product subtotals of $299.00 or more. Our desk is at 4309 Canada Way, Burnaby, BC V5G 1J3. Labels use a Port Moody, BC PO Box. The catalogue does not ship outside Canada.
Where are storage notes for a Melanotan II vial?
Melanotan II arrives as a lyophilized research solid. Move the sealed vial into controlled storage the same day. Receiving notes are on the peptide storage and handling guide. That page does not set a solvent volume. The class note is Melanocortin ligands in laboratory models.
How much is Melanotan II 10 mg in Canada?
Melanotan II 10 mg is $30.00 CAD for 10 mg. Payment is Interac e-Transfer. Shipping is Canada Post Xpresspost across Canada: $25.00 flat rate; free on product subtotals of $299.00 or more. Research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
