MT-2 Melanotan II

MT-2, also known as Melanotan II, is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte–stimulating hormone (α-MSH) designed to activate melanocortin receptors. It is widely studied for its effects on pigmentation pathways, appetite regulation, and central nervous system signaling in controlled research settings.

Product Specifications:

• Type: Melanocortin receptor agonist (α-MSH analog)
• Purity: ≥ 98% (HPLC-tested)
• Form: Lyophilized peptide
• Solvent Compatibility: Bacteriostatic water
• Storage: Refrigerate after reconstitution

Key Research Characteristics:

• Activates melanocortin receptors involved in melanin production
• Studied for effects on pigmentation and UV-response pathways
• Investigated for influence on appetite regulation and energy balance
• Explored in research involving libido and neuroendocrine signaling
• Demonstrates strong receptor binding in controlled laboratory models

Scientific Background:
MT-2 mimics endogenous α-MSH activity and interacts with multiple melanocortin receptors, including MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R. This broad receptor activity makes it a key compound in studies involving pigmentation, metabolic signaling, and central nervous system–mediated responses.

Handling and Reconstitution:

• Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water
• Gently swirl until fully dissolved
• Do not shake vigorously
• Store refrigerated after mixing

Storage:

• Lyophilized: store in a cool, dry place
• Reconstituted: store refrigerated and use within recommended stability window
