MT-2 10mg

MT-2 10mg – Melanotan II (MT-II)

Melanotan II (MT-II), also known as MT-2, is a research-grade synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), engineered as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist. This potent peptide reagent targets melanocortin receptors (primarily MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC5), serving as a valuable tool in laboratory investigations of melanogenesis pathways, pigmentation mechanisms, appetite regulation, sexual behavior signaling, and related neuroendocrine processes in in vitro and controlled experimental models.

In published preclinical and mechanistic studies, Melanotan II has demonstrated strong agonism at melanocortin receptors, facilitating explorations of melanin synthesis induction, eumelanin production, MC4-mediated effects on energy homeostasis and feeding behavior, and MC receptor involvement in arousal and erectile response pathways—distinct from natural α-MSH due to its enhanced stability and potency. It has been utilized in research to probe skin pigmentation models, hypothalamic signaling, and melanocortin system modulation in cellular assays and animal-derived in vitro systems.

The 10 mg lyophilized presentation is well-suited for standard exploratory studies, binding affinity assessments, dose-response characterizations, or pilot experiments in cell culture, receptor binding assays, and in vitro melanocyte or neuronal models. Each vial is supplied as a white lyophilized powder with documented purity exceeding 99% by HPLC, verified through third-party testing, and accompanied by certificates of analysis including mass spectrometry confirmation.
