MT2 Peptide (Research Grade)
MT2, also known as Melanotan II (MT-II), is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is widely utilised in scientific research investigating melanocortin receptor activity, peptide–receptor interactions, cellular signalling pathways, and melanocortin biology. Research literature describes MT2 as a potent, non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist.
Our Research Grade MT2 Peptide is supplied for laboratory, analytical, and scientific research applications. Each batch is produced with an emphasis on purity, consistency, and product integrity to support reliable and reproducible research.
