Description
Product Name: | MT II Recombinant Protein |
Product Code: | RPPB1345 |
Size: | 100mg |
Target: | MT II |
Synonyms: | Melanotan-II, MT-II, Melanotan. |
Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation: | The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives. |
Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Melanotan-II in sterile 18M?-cm H2O not less than 100 �g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
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. |
Purity: | Greater than 97.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Melanotan and Melanotan-II are both analogs of the peptide hormone alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (a-MSH) that tend to induce skin tanning. Unlike Melanotan, Melanotan-II has the additional effect of increasing libido. Melanotan II has aphrodisiac properties.
The molecular formula of Melanotan-II 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.
