MT-2 (Melanotan II)
10mg · Lyophilized Powder · Purity ≥99%
Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist across MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R in pigmentation biology and CNS signalling research.

Research Overview
Melanotan II's structural cyclisation imparts enhanced metabolic stability relative to the native α-MSH linear sequence, making it a widely used probe for melanocortin receptor pharmacology research. MC1R activation by MT-2 in melanocyte cell models has been studied in relation to eumelanin pathway stimulation and melanogenesis regulation. Separately, MC4R engagement has been investigated in the context of hypothalamic arousal pathways and energy balance signalling in CNS research models, reflecting the receptor's central expression profile. Supplied exclusively for laboratory and research use.
The melanocortin receptor family — MC1R through MC5R — mediates diverse physiological and signalling functions ranging from pigmentation to neuroendocrine regulation. Melanotan II, as a non-selective agonist of this receptor family, has served as a pharmacological tool in receptor subtype characterisation research, enabling parallel investigation of MC1R-driven melanogenesis and MC4R-driven central arousal and appetite signalling within the same compound model. Eumelanin synthesis pathway studies in cultured melanocyte models have used MT-2 to probe cAMP-PKA activation downstream of MC1R. All outcomes referenced pertain to preclinical models and do not constitute evidence of clinical efficacy or safety in humans.

COA / Testing
Batch documentation and third-party testing information are available for batch BME-MT210M-A. COA previews appear only when documentation exists for the active batch.
Storage & Handling
Melanotan II acetate lyophilized powder should be stored at −20°C in a sealed vial, protected from light and moisture to prevent oxidation and peptide degradation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; prepare aliquots prior to initial reconstitution. Reconstituted solutions should be kept at 4°C and used within intervals consistent with laboratory protocols.
