MT-2
What is MT-2? Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic peptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied for its potential to influence melanin production and pigmentation pathways in preclinical models. Research has also explored its interaction with receptors involved in sexual function and energy regulation. Ongoing studies aim to better understand its effects on pigmentation, photoprotection, and related biological processes. For Research Use Only. Not intended for human consumption, cosmetic application, medical, diagnostic, or therapeutic purposes.
Description
| Chemical Formula | C50H69N15O9 |
| Molecular Mass | ~1024.2 Da |
| CAS Number | 121062-08-6 |
| Form | Lyophilized peptide powder |
| Shelf Life | 24 months (lyophilized) |
| Intended Use | For preclinical and in vitro research only |
| Storage | −20 °C (dry powder), −80 °C (after reconstitution) |
In experimental research settings, MT-2 (Melanotan II) is utilized as a synthetic melanocortin receptor agonist to investigate melanocortin signaling pathways, receptor–ligand binding behavior, and downstream second-messenger responses in controlled laboratory models. Its cyclic peptide structure supports studies focused on signaling potency, receptor selectivity, and pathway activation dynamics.
Preclinical investigations commonly employ MT-2 in cell-based assays to examine melanocortin-receptor–mediated transcriptional regulation, cAMP-linked signaling effects, and comparative response profiles versus other melanocortin ligands. Experimental outcomes may vary depending on model system, exposure duration, and assay design.
Intended for laboratory research use only. Not for human or animal consumption, medical diagnosis, cosmetic use, or therapeutic application.
