Research Background
Melanotan 2 is a truncated, cyclized analog of α-MSH designed for greater metabolic stability than the native hormone. It functions as an agonist across multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes, most notably MC1R and MC4R, and is used in research settings to probe melanocortin-system signaling. Because of its broad receptor activity, MT-2 appears frequently in cellular and preclinical models investigating pigmentation pathways, receptor pharmacology, and downstream cAMP signaling. Researchers value it as a well-characterized reference agonist when studying the melanocortin family.
Handling and Storage
Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C and protect it from light and moisture. For laboratory handling, reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. Once reconstituted, keep the solution refrigerated at 2–8°C and use it within the timeframe appropriate to your protocol to preserve peptide integrity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Quality and Testing
Every batch of MT-2 is analyzed by HPLC for purity and by mass spectrometry for identity confirmation. A lot-specific certificate of analysis documents these results so investigators can verify material quality before use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MT-2 (Melanotan 2)?
MT-2 is a synthetic cyclic peptide analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist and is supplied as a research compound for laboratory use only.
What receptors does Melanotan 2 target?
Melanotan 2 is a non-selective agonist that binds several melanocortin receptor subtypes, with notable activity at MC1R and MC4R. This broad activity is why it is used as a reference agonist in melanocortin-system research.
What is the purity of LiveWell’s MT-2?
LiveWell’s MT-2 is verified at ≥99% purity by HPLC, with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. A third-party certificate of analysis is available for each lot.
How should MT-2 be stored?
Store lyophilized MT-2 at -20°C away from light and moisture. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2–8°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
What is the CAS number for Melanotan 2 Acetate?
The CAS number for Melanotan 2 Acetate is 121062-08-6, with the molecular formula C50H69N15O9.
Is MT-2 intended for human use?
