Brief Introduction:

MT-2 (Melanotan 2 Acetate) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of endogenous α-MSH for laboratory research only. It is a non-selective potent agonist binding to MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R melanocortin receptors. The cyclic lactam structure improves enzymatic stability and biological activity. It is widely applied in pigmentation, neuroendocrine, appetite and sexual function related preclinical mechanism research.

1. Skin melanogenesis & photoprotection research: Used in melanocyte cell models to study eumelanin synthesis, UV damage relief and skin tanning mechanisms without ultraviolet irradiation.
2. Neuroendocrine receptor research: Suitable for comparative study of MC1R/MC3R/MC4R multi-subtype signal pathways and melanocortin receptor selectivity contrast with MT-1.
3. Appetite & energy metabolism research: Applied to explore central feeding regulation, fat metabolism and weight control related physiological processes.
4. Peripheral tissue function research: For experiments on peripheral nerve repair, vascular smooth muscle regulation and reproductive endocrine related pathways.Note:
