MT-2

Product Overview

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors (MC1R through MC5R) and has been widely studied in dermatological and physiological research models involving melanogenesis and photoprotection pathways.

NXTSTATE provides Melanotan II in lyophilized form at research-grade purity (99.835%), independently verified by third-party RP-HPLC analysis. Each vial contains 10mg of lyophilized peptide, sealed under aseptic conditions for maximum stability.

Research Applications

Melanotan II has been the subject of extensive preclinical research across several areas of interest:

• Melanocortin receptor signaling and melanogenesis pathways
• Photoprotection and UV-induced skin damage models
• Appetite regulation and energy homeostasis studies
• Behavioral and neuroendocrine research involving MC3R/MC4R activation
