Melanotan-2 10mg Research Peptide
Melanotan-2 is a cyclic 7-amino-acid synthetic analog of α-MSH developed at the University of Arizona. Unlike Melanotan-1 it binds all four melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R), producing pigmentation plus libido and appetite effects.
Purity
99.4% HPLC-tested purity with COA support.
Size
10mg Lyophilized Powder.
Storage
-20°C (Freezer)
Research use
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Mechanism of action
MT-2's pan-melanocortin activity drives melanogenesis via MC1R, sexual arousal via MC4R (the same pathway later isolated as PT-141), and adipocyte modulation via MC5R. Its non-selectivity is why PT-141 was later developed as a libido-specific spinoff.
Research applications
- Melanocortin pharmacology research
- Pigmentation and tanning research
- MC4R-mediated sexual response studies
- Appetite and body composition research
- Erectile function research
Frequently asked questions
How is Melanotan-2 different from PT-141?
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a derivative of Melanotan-2 modified to act primarily on MC4R for sexual arousal research, with much weaker MC1R/pigmentation activity. MT-2 hits all four melanocortin receptors.
What are common research dosing protocols?
Published protocols vary widely. Refer to original melanocortin literature for full dose-response data — this product is sold strictly for in-vitro research, not human use.
Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. ≥99.4% HPLC purity, mass-spec confirmation, endotoxin testing on every batch.
