SKU: AUREN-MT2 Category:

Description

Melanotan II, commonly abbreviated MT-II or MT2, is a synthetic cyclic lactam analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It is a potent research agonist used to characterise multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes.

Published studies include receptor pharmacology, pigmentation models and melanocortin-pathway research. It is not supplied as a tanning product, cosmetic or medicine, and this page intentionally provides no administration or outcome guidance.

Registry values can differ by salt, counter-ion, hydrate, charge state or supplier representation. The lot certificate takes precedence.

03Storage & laboratory handling+
  1. 01

    Keep the sealed lyophilised material dry, protected from light and tightly closed.

  2. 02

    For longer-term laboratory storage, -20°C is a commonly used condition for peptide reference materials; short-term requirements vary by sequence and formulation.

  3. 03

    After preparing a laboratory solution, minimise time at room temperature and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The lot-specific label, CoA and SDS take priority over general guidance.
