MT-2 (Melanotan 2) 10mg – A Peptide for Skin Pigmentation Research

Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring hormone α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is a significant research compound used to study skin pigmentation, melanogenesis, and its associated biological pathways.

Composition and Function

MT-2 acts as a potent agonist at the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) on melanocytes. This stimulates the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin and hair color. Beyond pigmentation, MT-2 has been shown to have effects on appetite and libido, making it a multi-functional research compound.

Research Applications

MT-2 is used in research to study skin diseases like vitiligo and melanoma, as well as to investigate the mechanisms of melanogenesis. Its effects on appetite and sexual function also make it relevant to studies on obesity and reproductive health.

Storage and Handling

Store MT-2 in a lyophilized state at -20°C, away from light. After reconstitution, keep it at 4°C and use it within a short timeframe. Avoid exposure to heat and light.
