Melanotan II (MT-2) 10mg (Back Order 2-3 weeks) – Research Peptide UK

What is Melanotan II (MT-2)?

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is commonly referenced in scientific literature as MT-2, Melanotan 2, or Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH₂.

Melanotan II is studied in laboratory environments for its interaction with melanocortin receptors (MC receptors) and its role in peptide–receptor signalling models and intracellular pathway analysis. It is widely utilised in controlled research settings examining melanocortin pathway interactions and peptide binding dynamics.

Potential Research Applications

• Melanocortin receptor (MC receptor) studies
• Peptide–receptor interaction research
• Intracellular signalling pathway analysis
• Synthetic peptide structure-function research
• Neuropeptide signalling models

This compound is suited for laboratory environments requiring high purity research peptides and precise receptor-binding studies.
