Description
Melanotan 2 (MT-2) – 10mg Research-Grade Synthetic Melanocortin Analog
Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of
alpha-melanocyte–stimulating hormone (a-MSH), designed for enhanced stability and broad
melanocortin receptor interaction. In controlled laboratory environments, MT-2 is used
to investigate melanocortin receptor activation (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R), GPCR
signaling dynamics, cyclic AMP (cAMP) pathway activation, and biochemical mechanisms
associated with melanocortin-family peptides.
Foundational receptor-binding and biochemical characterization studies identify Melanotan 2 as a potent nonselective melanocortin receptor agonist with a stable cyclic backbone, supporting consistent
use in mechanistic in-vitro research.
MT-2’s cyclic structure provides enhanced resistance to enzymatic degradation, enabling
reliable implementation in biochemical assays, receptor signaling models, intracellular
second-messenger studies, and peptide–receptor interaction mapping.
