Melanotan 2: Advanced Melanocortin Receptor Agonist for Pigmentation and Metabolic Research

Synthetic α-MSH analogue for investigating melanogenesis pathways, melanocortin receptor signaling, and metabolic regulation in controlled laboratory settings.

Purity >99% with fast NZ shipping.


🔬 Research Applications Overview

Scientists and researchers can utilize Melanotan 2 (MT-2), a synthetic melanocortin receptor agonist, to investigate melanogenesis mechanisms, melanocortin receptor signaling pathways, and metabolic regulatory processes in controlled experimental models.

Sourced for Purity > 99% and shipped fast across New Zealand, this peptide is essential for research focusing on MC1R and MC4R receptor activation, photoprotective pigmentation responses, and appetite regulation pathways.

💥 Key Research Benefits

  • Melanogenesis Pathway Study: Facilitates the investigation of MC1R receptor activation, tyrosinase upregulation, and eumelanin synthesis in melanocyte cell culture models.
  • 🛡️ Photoprotection Mechanism Analysis: Research models indicate enhanced melanin density and UV-protective responses, used to analyze cellular defense mechanisms against photodamage in laboratory settings.
  • 🧬 Melanocortin Receptor Selectivity: Exhibits broad affinity for MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R receptors, making it ideal for multi-receptor signaling studies and comparative receptor pharmacology research.
  • 🔬 Metabolic Regulation Research: Enables investigation of MC4R-mediated appetite suppression, energy expenditure modulation, and metabolic homeostasis in in-vitro experimental protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Melanotan 2?

A: Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) used in pre-clinical research to study melanocortin receptor activation, melanogenesis pathways, photoprotective mechanisms, and metabolic regulation in laboratory models.

Q: How does MT-2 differ from MT-1?

A: While both are α-MSH analogues, MT-2 exhibits broader melanocortin receptor affinity (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R) compared to MT-1's more selective MC1R binding. This makes MT-2 particularly useful for multi-receptor signaling research and metabolic pathway investigations.

Q: How should this product be stored?

A: Store lyophilized powder in refrigerator for up to 1 year maximum. Once reconstituted, store in refrigerator and use within 4-5 weeks maximum per your research protocol.

Q: Is this product approved for human use?

A: ⚠️ Disclaimer: Our products are sold strictly for non-human, in-vitro (laboratory) research purposes only and are not approved for human or veterinary consumption, therapy, or diagnosis. All information provided is for educational and scientific reference exclusively.
