Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that has been extensively studied for its effects on melanogenesis and skin pigmentation. This research-grade peptide powder offers scientists a high-purity compound for laboratory investigations.
The peptide works by activating melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R, which stimulates the production of melanin in melanocytes. This mechanism has made MT-2 a valuable tool for studying pigmentation processes and potential photoprotective effects against UV radiation.
In research settings, Melanotan II has demonstrated multiple biological activities beyond pigmentation, including potential effects on energy homeostasis, sexual function, and inflammatory pathways. These diverse actions make it a compound of significant scientific interest across multiple research disciplines.
Our MT-2 peptide is provided as a lyophilized white powder with guaranteed high purity (>99%) as verified by HPLC analysis. The product is carefully handled and packaged to ensure stability and research reliability.
