About this compound

Melanotan 2 (MT-2) 10 mg – Peptide for Pigmentation

  • Composition: 10 mg Melanotan II (lyophilized peptide powder)
  • Category: Peptide
  • Form: Vial with freeze-dried powder

What is Melanotan 2 (MT-2)?

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic peptide developed as an analogue of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH).

It binds to melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R), thereby stimulating melanin production in skin cells (melanocytes).

This enhances the natural pigmentation of the skin – independently of direct UV exposure.

In addition to its role in melanin synthesis, MT-2 has also been studied for potential effects on libido, appetite regulation, and energy balance.

Ideal for skin pigmentation, photoprotection, and melanocortin-mediated metabolic processes.

Key Research Findings

Skin Pigmentation: Stimulates melanin production and promotes an even, UV-independent tanning effect.

Photoprotection: Increased pigmentation may theoretically help protect the skin from UV-induced damage.

Libido & Hypothalamic Effects: Preclinical studies have shown activation of the MC4R receptor, which is associated with libido and energy metabolism.

Appetite Regulation: Interacts with melanocortin signaling pathways involved in hunger and energy expenditure.

Storage Instructions

  • Store at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F)
  • Protect from light and moisture
  • Do not freeze
  • Avoid frequent temperature fluctuations

Why Choose Melanotan 2 (MT-2)?

Melanotan 2 is one of the most extensively studied melanocortin analogues, offering wide research potential in the fields of skin pigmentation, metabolism, and neuroendocrinology.

It combines an extended half-life with strong receptor affinity, making it a valuable tool in peptide research.

Order Melanotan 2 (MT-2) 10 mg and explore its potential in modern pigmentation and metabolic research.
