Melanotan 2 10mg (MT2)

Melanotan II 10mg (MT2)

Melanotan II (MT2) (Melanocortin Receptor Agonist)

Melanotan II is a synthetic, cyclic heptapeptide analogue of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone ($\alpha$-MSH). In research environments, it functions as a potent, non-selective agonist of the melanocortin receptors (specifically MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC5). It is extensively studied for its ability to induce melanogenesis (pigmentation) via MC1R activation, as well as its secondary behavioural effects on energy homeostasis, appetite suppression, and sexual arousal pathways via MC3R and MC4R activation.

Why Researchers Choose Perth Peptides

Due to the complex cyclic structure of MT2, synthesis errors and degradation are common in lower-grade supplies. Our Melanotan II is produced in a GMP-compliant facility and undergoes rigorous HPLC and LC-MS testing to confirm structural integrity and a minimum purity of 99%. This provides researchers with a stable, highly soluble compound for accurate dose-dependent studies on photoprotection and melanocortin pathway responses.
