Description

Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide (Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH₂) structurally related to alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts as a potent, nonselective agonist across multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes (MC1R–MC5R). MT2 is widely used in receptor biology studies focusing on signal transduction, cAMP-mediated activation, and GPCR desensitization processes.

This 10mg lyophilized vial is intended for laboratory use in examining neuroendocrine signaling, pigmentation-related gene expression, and behavioral peptide pharmacology under well-controlled experimental frameworks.

Research
  1. Melanocortin Receptor Pharmacology
    MT2 is widely used in receptor-binding assays to evaluate subtype specificity, binding affinity, and functional efficacy across melanocortin receptors. It serves as a tool to assess receptor activation thresholds and desensitization mechanisms in in-vitro cell lines.
  2. Second-Messenger Signaling Analysis
    Commonly used in signal transduction studies measuring cAMP accumulation and downstream effector activation (e.g., ERK/MAPK), Melanotan 2 provides a robust model for quantifying GPCR-mediated transcriptional cascades.
  3. Pigmentation Pathways & Melanocyte Signaling
    In melanocyte and pigmentation biology, MT2 is used to explore melanogenesis-related gene expression and the influence of MC1R signaling on melanin synthesis. It assists in mapping photoprotection pathways and UV-response models in dermatological research.
  4. Behavioral Neuroscience Models
    Experimental studies with rodent models often use MT2 to investigate neurobehavioral responses such as feeding behavior, sexual arousal pathways, reward processing, and motivational circuitry, all linked to MC3R and MC4R signaling.
  5. Systems Biology & Tissue Mapping
    Melanotan 2 is applied in systems-level studies to evaluate receptor expression across tissues and to trace peptide-linked signaling networks using transcriptional and proteomic approaches in organ-specific models.
FAQ 

Q: What is Melanotan 2 used for in research?
A: MT2 is primarily used to study melanocortin receptor activation, GPCR signaling, neuroendocrine responses, pigmentation mechanisms, and behavioral pathways in preclinical models.

Q: Which receptors does MT2 activate?
A: It is a nonselective agonist that activates MC1R through MC5R, with high affinity for MC1R (pigmentation) and MC4R (neurobehavior).

Q: Is Melanotan 2 intended for human use or tanning?
A: No. This product is for scientific research only and is not intended for tanning or clinical use under any circumstances.

Q: What signaling pathways does it influence?
A: It primarily activates the cAMP–PKA pathway and can also influence MAPK/ERK cascades depending on cell type and receptor subtype.

Q: How is Melanotan 2 stored for research?
A: MT2 should be stored lyophilized at -20°C or below and reconstituted with bacteriostatic water immediately prior to experimental use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
