MT-2 (Melanotan II) — Powder

MT-2 (Melanotan II) Lyophilized Powder – Vial – Research Use Only

MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetic cyclic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is supplied as a lyophilized powder in a sealed research vial and is widely studied for its potent effects on melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R and MC4R.

In laboratory settings, researchers examine how MT-2 binds to melanocortin receptors to stimulate melanin production in melanocytes while also influencing other physiological pathways regulated by the melanocortin system.

Researchers commonly study MT-2 (Melanotan II) to explore its potential involvement in:

• Melanogenesis and skin pigmentation pathways
• Appetite suppression and central regulation of food intake
• Libido and sexual function signaling
• MC1R and MC4R receptor activation
• Photoprotection and UV-induced skin damage responses
• Energy balance and metabolic regulation
• Neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in melanocortin pathways

As a potent melanocortin receptor agonist, MT-2 serves as a valuable research tool for investigating pigmentation biology, appetite control, sexual behavior, and broader melanocortin system signaling in controlled laboratory environments.
