Melanotan II (MT-2)
Skin-pigment-signal peptide
A lab-made, ring-shaped peptide modelled on the natural pigment hormone alpha-MSH. Unlike Melanotan I, it is not focused on a single target.
Also known as MT-2 · MT-II · Melanotan-2
How it is studied
It copies the natural pigment-signal hormone, but switches on several related docking points rather than just one, so it acts more broadly across the body's pigment-signalling system.
Research context
A reference tool in laboratory research on skin pigment and the pigment-signalling system. Research use only.
Good to know
Strong and broadly acting — research use only.
Research area
Skin, hair & pigment research. This group looks at small peptides — short chains of the building blocks that make up proteins — and copper-carrying peptides that scientists study alongside skin cells, hair-root tissue, and the body's natural color-making cells. Everything here is a reference material for laboratory research only.
Strengths and availability
Single vials in stock: 10mg. 10-vial kit prices are for wholesale members; the shop sells single vials and research bundles.
