ADDITIONAL INFO

Melanotan II (MT-2) — Research Peptide for Pigmentation & Receptor Studies

MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetic peptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) used in laboratory research to study melanocortin receptor signaling, pigmentation pathways, and melanin production. It is investigated in vitro for its effects on photoprotection, pigment regulation, and receptor-mediated processes related to energy balance and sexual function. Reconstitute with 3 mL of sterile water prior to laboratory use.

For in-vitro laboratory research only. Not a drug, food, cosmetic, or veterinary product. Not for human or animal administration.
