Description
MT-2 (Melanotan II)
10 mg · Lyophilized · Research Grade
Advanced Melanocortin Research. Refined to the Highest Standard.
Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic peptide analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), engineered for enhanced receptor binding affinity and superior metabolic stability compared to its linear counterpart, MT-1. As a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist with affinity across MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R subtypes, Melanotan II has become one of the most widely referenced compounds across multiple domains of melanocortin-pathway research — from pigmentation and photoprotection to appetite regulation and autonomic function.
First synthesized at the University of Arizona in the 1980s as part of a broader investigation into melanocortin biology, MT-2 has since accumulated an extensive body of peer-reviewed literature, positioning it as a cornerstone compound in academic and clinical research environments exploring the melanocortin system’s remarkably diverse physiological roles.
