Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This research peptide has shown potential in various scientific studies related to skin pigmentation, sexual function, and metabolic regulation.
The peptide works by stimulating melanocortin receptors in the body, particularly MC1R and MC4R. This activation leads to increased melanin production, which may provide protection against UV radiation. Research suggests MT-2 may also influence appetite regulation and sexual arousal pathways.
Our MT-2 peptide is supplied as a lyophilized white powder with purity exceeding 99%. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing including HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis to ensure product integrity and consistency.
This product is intended for research purposes only in laboratory settings. It is not for human consumption or diagnostic use. Researchers should handle all peptides using appropriate safety protocols and personal protective equipment.
For optimal stability, store the lyophilized powder at -20°C in a dry environment. When reconstituted, the peptide solution should be used immediately or stored at 4°C for short-term use.
