MT-2 10mg Peptides
Built for disciplined research, this MT-2 vial reflects careful synthesis, controlled handling, and consistent quality.
This MT-2 research peptide is supplied as a lyophilized vial for precise laboratory workflows. Format: lyophilized peptide vial. Style: unflavored, unbuffered. Active ingredient type: melanocortin analog. Total strength: 10mg. The stabilized powder matrix supports accurate handling in qualified settings, enabling method development and controlled experimental design.
- Each vial contains 10mg of MT-2, a synthetic melanocortin analog used to investigate receptor activity, melanogenesis signaling pathways, and structured dose–response relationships in vitro and other controlled research models.
Designed for non-clinical use, this lyophilized presentation supports reliable reconstitution by qualified personnel and consistent aliquoting practices. Researchers value MT-2 for its role in probing melanocortin receptor pharmacology and for building reproducible datasets around pathway engagement, kinetics, and comparative stability. The clean, uniform powder profile is suited to protocol-driven environments where consistency, traceability, and low variability are essential.
In practical laboratory settings, MT-2 is often incorporated into receptor-binding studies, signaling analyses, and assay optimization work where precise controls matter. The stable lyophilized format aids storage and handling within established quality procedures, while the clearly defined total strength helps streamline calculations, documentation, and method validation steps. This product is not edible and should only be handled by trained professionals following appropriate laboratory practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MT-2?
MT-2 usually refers to Melanotan II, a melanocortin receptor agonist used in experimental research. It is distinct from MT-1 because it is commonly described as broader and more potent across melanocortin receptors. On a research site, it should be presented as a laboratory peptide for receptor-signaling and pigmentation studies.
What is MT-2 typically studied for?
MT-2 is commonly studied for melanogenesis, pigmentation pathways, and broader melanocortin-receptor biology. In the literature it also appears in appetite and sexual-behavior discussions because melanocortin signaling extends beyond skin pigmentation, but those are still research contexts rather than broad consumer claims.
What are melanocortin peptides?
Melanocortin peptides are a family of signaling peptides derived from the precursor protein proopiomelanocortin (POMC). The family includes α-MSH, β-MSH, γ-MSH, and ACTH, along with a number of synthetic analogs developed for research purposes, such as Melanotan I, Melanotan II, PT-141, and others.
Melanocortins are studied in connection with pigmentation pathways, appetite and energy balance research, and sexual-function signaling, depending on which receptor subtype is engaged. All melanocortin-class compounds offered by Peptide Scientific Labs are lyophilized research materials intended solely for in vitro laboratory investigation.
What is the melanocortin receptor system?
The melanocortin receptor system is a family of five G protein-coupled receptors designated MC1R through MC5R. Each subtype has a different tissue distribution and research-studied function: MC1R is associated with melanocyte biology and pigmentation, MC2R with adrenal cortex signaling, MC3R and MC4R with central nervous system pathways related to energy balance, and MC5R with exocrine tissues.
Research on melanocortin peptides is largely organized around which receptor subtypes a given peptide preferentially engages. This receptor selectivity is a key variable in how these compounds are studied in the laboratory.
How do α-MSH and related peptides fit into this family?
α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) is a 13-amino-acid peptide derived from POMC and is one of the best-studied members of the melanocortin family. It is investigated primarily in the context of MC1R signaling and pigmentation research, but it also interacts with other melanocortin receptors at varying affinities.
Synthetic analogs such as Melanotan I and Melanotan II were developed to study more stable or receptor-selective variants of the natural α-MSH sequence. These analogs retain the core structural features of α-MSH while differing in their stability and receptor preference, which makes them useful reference compounds in melanocortin-system research.
