MT2 (Melanotan II, CAS: 121062-08-6) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide, a stabilized analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). As a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors (MC1, MC3, MC4, MC5), it’s a cornerstone research peptide for skin pigmentation, intimate wellness, and metabolic studies.
Its cyclic structure (Ac-Nle-Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys-NH₂) boosts stability and receptor affinity, outperforming natural α-MSH. MT2 stimulates melanogenesis via MC1 (skin tanning/melanin) and modulates intimate function via MC4. Lyophilized powder preserves bioactivity for consistent in vitro/in vivo results.
Core Research Benefits
• Melanogenesis Activation: MC1 agonism drives melanin synthesis, key for tanning/pigmentation research.
• Stable & Potent: Cyclic structure resists degradation; long half-life for reliable dosing.
• Multi-Receptor Targeting: Acts on MC1/3/4/5, enabling studies in pigmentation, metabolism, and wellness.
• Lyophilized Stability: Freeze-dried powder extends shelf life; easy to reconstitute.
• High Purity: ≥99% HPLC-tested, third-party verified for accurate data.
