MT-2

£29.99

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, with a disulfide-bridged ring structure providing greater metabolic stability than MT-1. Research has examined its non-selective melanocortin receptor agonism, with affinity for MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R.

Research interest in MT-2 has focused on:

  • Melanocortin receptor cross-binding profile (MC1R/3R/4R/5R)
  • Eumelanin synthesis in melanocyte cell cultures
  • Hypothalamic MC4R activation pathway studies
  • Comparative profiling versus MT-1 and PT-141

Supplied as lyophilised powder. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for research use. Each batch independently CoA-verified.

Research Handling Note
For best results, allow both the lyophilised peptide and your chosen solvent to reach ambient laboratory temperature before reconstitution. Introduce solvent slowly against the vial wall and allow the cake to dissolve without agitation to maintain structural integrity. Store reconstituted material per the specifications above.
