Description:
Melanotan and Melanotan-II are both analogs of the peptide hormone alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (?-MSH) that tend to induce skin tanning. Unlike Melanotan, Melanotan-II has the additional effect of increasing libido. Melanotan II has aphrodisiac properties.
Description:
The molecular formula is C50H69N15O9. It has the amino acid sequence of Ac-Nle-cyclo [Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2 and a molecular weight of 1024.2 Dalton. The CAS Number is 121062-08-6.
Synonyms:
Melanotan-II, MT-II, Melanotan.
Purity:
Greater than 97.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Melanotan-II in sterile 18MΩ–cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Formulation:
The protein (1 mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives.
Stability:
Lyophilized Melanotan-II although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 °C. Upon reconstitution MT-II should be stored at 4 °C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 °C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
