Two-dimensional structures generated with RDKit and drawn in the site palette. Tap a drawing to enlarge it. Below each drawing, the residue chain in one-letter code with the three-letter name and position; colours mark the side-chain class, a dashed outline marks a D-residue or a non-proteinogenic residue (lower-case letters are D-residues).
2D depiction, C50H69N15O9, generated from the PubChem connection table, CID 92432. Asp2-Lys7 lactam bridge.
Ac-Nle-Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys-NH2 (terminal groups: N-terminal acetyl, C-terminal amide)
Formula, masses and identifiers from PubChem where a record exists, checked against an independent RDKit calculation and, for peptides, against the residue sequence. Theoretical pI, net charge at pH 7.4, GRAVY and the 280 nm extinction coefficient are calculated with Biopython ProtParam on the residue chain (Bjellqvist pK set; Kyte-Doolittle; Gill and von Hippel) and are marked "calculated"; they are not given where the chain contains non-proteinogenic residues.

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide (made up of seven amino acids) related to a-MSH. Researchers are interested in using it to investigate melanocortin receptor pharmacology, cAMP signaling, and peptide structure–activity relationships.
No, Melanotan 2 does not selectively target one receptor, which is why scientists are so interested in researching it. MTII interacts with several melanocortin receptor subtypes, including MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R.
MTII has a cyclic structure because a lactam bridge constrains the peptide’s conformation. This allows scientists to overcome the natural limitations of linear peptides such as low potency and structural flexibility. Researchers can then use this structure to examine how molecular shape affects receptor affinity, potency, and selectivity.
The percentage of 99% is a measure of relative chemical purity within the peptide. It’s derived using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
A result of 99%+ HPLC purity indicates that the target chromatographic peak accounts for at least 99% of the detected peak area under the stated test conditions.
It’s worth noting that HPLC purity does not replace identity or contaminant testing – it’s important for additional tests to be carried out, as well. At Licensed Peptides, we ensure all our peptide batches are screened.
Storing peptides like Melanotan 2 is important to maintain the quality and stability of the material for research purposes. If you need to preserve a batch long-term, store unopened lyophilized (freeze-dried) vials at -20°C or below. Keep the material sealed and protect it from light, moisture, and repeated temperature changes, as exposure can begin the degradation process and impact the repeatability of your results.
No. Licensed Peptides supplies Melanotan 2 exclusively for laboratory, analytical, and scientific research.
