Melanotan 2 (MT-2)

Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic melanocortin receptor research peptide belonging to the α-MSH analogue family. It is widely used in controlled in vitro studies to investigate receptor pharmacology, second-messenger signalling, and peptide structure–activity relationships (SAR) in non-clinical laboratory environments.

Key Features

Melanocortin analogue for receptor-binding and signalling pathway studies
Suitable for analysing melanocortin receptor subtype engagement
Designed for structure–activity relationship (SAR) investigations
Supplied as a lyophilised powder for stability and ease of storage
Unit size: 10 mg per vial
Manufactured under strict quality-controlled conditions with batch verification

Product Overview

Melanotan 2 is a cyclic α-MSH–family peptide analogue commonly utilised in research to examine melanocortin receptor interactions and downstream signalling responses. Its structural stability and receptor affinity make it a reliable tool for comparative pharmacology and assay-based studies. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary application.
