Overview
MT-2 (Melanotan 2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide and a structural analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). As a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist, it belongs to the melanocortin compound class and is used as a reference compound in published receptor-binding and signaling studies. This item ships as a kit of 10 vials of lyophilized compound intended strictly for in-vitro laboratory research use. It is supplied for qualified researchers and institutional laboratory settings only.

Research context
MT-2 is studied in laboratory research into the melanocortin signaling system. In published literature it is characterized as a ligand at multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes, including MC1R and MC4R, which are the subject of receptor-pharmacology research. It appears as a tool compound in melanogenesis and pigmentation research, particularly studies examining alpha-MSH receptor binding and cyclic AMP signaling in melanocyte cell models. It is also referenced in broader investigations of melanocortin receptor pharmacology, structure-activity relationships, and central melanocortin pathway research. All such work is conducted in in-vitro and preclinical research settings.
Storage and handling
