The melanocortin system is one of the most closely studied signalling families in receptor pharmacology. Five G-protein-coupled melanocortin receptors (MC1R through MC5R) sit at the centre of laboratory work on pigmentation, energy-balance signalling and central neural pathways, with the MC4R subtype drawing particular attention in in-vitro and preclinical models. This category collects the melanocortin-class reference compounds we supply for that research.
Every item here is intended strictly for in-vitro and laboratory research: characterising receptor-binding behaviour, developing assays and comparing structure to activity in a controlled setting. Nothing in this category is a supplement, medicine or product for human or animal consumption, and we make no dosing, therapeutic or before-and-after claims of any kind.
Each compound is supplied lyophilised, manufactured to a ≥99% purity target and lot-tracked, so a given vial can be traced back to its production batch. Orders ship tracked from inside the EU, which means shipments to EU destinations cross no customs border. Independent per-batch testing is the standard we are building toward, and you can read how we approach it on our testing-standard page.

Melanocortin research peptides are laboratory reference compounds that act on the melanocortin family of G-protein-coupled receptors (MC1R–MC5R). Much current in-vitro work focuses on the MC4R subtype and central signalling pathways. In this catalogue they are supplied strictly as reference material for laboratory investigation: receptor-binding assays, structure-activity comparison and method development.
No. Every product in this category is supplied for in-vitro and laboratory research use only. Nothing here is a supplement, medicine or product for human or animal consumption, and we make no dosing, therapeutic or outcome claims of any kind.
