MT-2 10mg – 3ml Vial

(Melanotan II)

Product Overview

MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a cyclic heptapeptide analogue derived from alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is structurally modified to enhance receptor binding affinity and metabolic stability in laboratory research models.

In controlled in-vitro and pre-clinical systems, MT-2 is commonly utilised to investigate:

• Melanocortin receptor (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R) binding dynamics

• cAMP-mediated intracellular signalling pathways

• Melanogenesis-associated biochemical mechanisms

• Peptide–receptor structure–activity relationships

• Neuroendocrine melanocortin pathway research

Its cyclic structure confers increased stability compared to linear α-MSH fragments, making it suitable for receptor pharmacology research under non-clinical laboratory conditions.

Supplied in lyophilised form to preserve peptide integrity and analytical stability prior to reconstitution.

Handling & Storage Guidelines

Unreconstituted (Lyophilised) Storage:
Store at −20°C for long-term preservation. Short-term storage at 2–8°C is acceptable if intended for use within 1–3 months.

Reconstituted Storage:
After reconstitution, store at 2–8°C and use within 3–6 weeks. Stability may vary depending on solvent selection and handling conditions.

Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Protect from excessive agitation, heat, and direct light exposure.
