Melanotan II MT-2 10mg Research Peptide
Melanotan II MT-2 10mg is a synthetic cyclic lactam analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This MT-2 10mg compound was originally developed at the University of Arizona and acts as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors (MC1R through MC5R). Supplied as a lyophilized powder for in vitro laboratory research exclusively.
MT-2 Research Background
Melanotan II has been extensively studied since its synthesis in the 1980s as a tool for melanocortin receptor research. Its non-selective binding profile across MC receptor subtypes makes MT-2 10mg valuable for studying melanogenesis pathways, appetite regulation via MC4R, sexual function signaling via MC3R/MC4R, and energy homeostasis mechanisms. The cyclic structure of MT-2 provides enhanced metabolic stability compared to linear MSH analogs.
Published research includes studies on melanocortin receptor pharmacology (PubMed: 10331061), melanogenesis mechanisms (PubMed: 8630958), and MC receptor selectivity profiles (PubMed: 15613459).
