Description
MT-2 (Melanotan-II) 10mg – Research Peptide
MT-2 (Melanotan-II) 10mg is a high-purity, research-grade synthetic peptide supplied for controlled laboratory investigation at 99%+ purity involving melanocortin receptor signaling and peptide-receptor interaction pathways.
Melanotan-II is a cyclic peptide analog derived from α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In scientific literature, peptides of this class have been examined in experimental models involving melanocortin receptors, including MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R.
These receptors are associated with signaling pathways studied in melanocyte biology, neuroendocrine peptide systems, and receptor-binding research.
MT-2 (Melanotan-II) 10mg is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and analytical investigation. This compound is not approved for human or veterinary use.
What Is MT-2 (Melanotan-II)?
Melanotan-II (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic peptide structurally related to α-MSH, a naturally occurring melanocortin peptide.
In research literature, MT-2 has been referenced in experimental work examining peptide interactions with melanocortin receptor subtypes, including MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R.
Scientific studies involving melanocortin peptides have explored pathways including:
• Melanocortin receptor signaling systems
• Melanin-related molecular pathways in melanocyte models
• Neuropeptide signaling within melanocortin systems
• Hormone-peptide receptor interaction models
• Central melanocortin pathway investigations
• Melanocortin receptor binding studies (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R)
• Peptide-receptor interaction analysis
• Melanocyte signaling pathway models
• Neuroendocrine melanocortin system research
These topics represent areas of ongoing experimental research.

Analytical note — Melanotan II. Cyclic, and one Da lighter than PT-141 because the C-terminus is an amide rather than a free acid. Any certificate that reports mass to the nearest whole number cannot distinguish the two, which is worth knowing when comparing suppliers.
Identity references The molecular formula, molecular mass and CAS registry number above are taken from the PubChem record linked in the table, not from a supplier datasheet, so every figure can be checked against an independent source in one click. Sequences are given as reported in the peptide literature, in the one-letter or three-letter convention as appropriate, with any non-standard residue named in full. Where a compound exists in more than one form — a free peptide and a metal complex, a fragment and its parent protein, a modified and an unmodified analog — the form supplied is the one identified here, and the mass on the certificate of analysis is what distinguishes it.
