MT-2 (Melanotan 2 Acetate)

MT-2 (Melanotan 2 Acetate) is a synthetic analogue of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH), designed to stimulate the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) and promote skin pigmentation. It is widely used in research to explore its effects on melanogenesis (skin pigmentation), tanning, and potential therapeutic applications related to skin health, UV protection, and pigmentation disorders. MT-2 is often investigated for its ability to induce a natural tan without the need for sun exposure, making it a valuable tool for dermatological studies.

MT-2 works by activating the MC1R on melanocytes, leading to the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This peptide is of particular interest in studies related to UV protection, as it may reduce the risk of sunburn by promoting melanin production, which naturally protects the skin from UV-induced damage. Additionally, MT-2 has been investigated for its role in treating pigmentation disorders such as vitiligo, where melanocyte activity is compromised, and in exploring its broader effects on the melanocortin system, which also regulates appetite, energy balance, and inflammatory processes.

The 10mg vial of MT-2 is ideal for researchers who are beginning to explore the effects of melanogenesis, skin pigmentation, and melanocortin receptor modulation. This vial size is suitable for in vitro studies, receptor binding assays, and initial in vivo research in animal models, providing enough material for focused experiments without requiring larger quantities.

Progression Peptides offers MT-2 as a high-purity lyophilized powder with third-party purity verification, ensuring the peptide meets rigorous standards for consistent and reliable research. The lyophilized form preserves the stability and bioactivity of the peptide when stored and handled according to recommended guidelines.

Reconstitution: Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water, allowing it to dissolve gently without shaking. The solution should remain clear and free from visible particles.

Storage: Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C. Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2-8°C and use within 30 days.
