Product Overview

MT2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of the naturally occurring α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH). It acts primarily as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R), influencing pigmentation pathways, energy metabolism, and sexual function. Our research-grade MT2 is produced with exceptional purity and stability, providing researchers with a consistent and reliable compound for exploring melanocortin system physiology, photoprotection, and metabolic regulation.

Must be paired with BAC Water – Typically 1 ml per 10 mg
