Melanotan 2 (10mg)
$45.99
Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In research settings, MT-2 is studied for its binding affinity across melanocortin receptor subtypes (MC1R–MC5R) and associated downstream effects on pigmentation signaling, energy regulation, and neuroendocrine pathway models.
BioRhex supplies Melanotan 2 as a research compound manufactured in a GMP-compliant US facility, tested to ≥99% purity via HPLC and mass spectrometry, and supplied strictly for controlled laboratory research — not for human or animal use.

Compound Overview
Melanotan 2 is a melanocortin receptor agonist studied for its receptor pharmacology and downstream signaling properties. Preclinical research models examine how MT-2 may influence:
• Melanocortin receptor (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R) binding and downstream activation
• Melanogenesis and pigmentation pathway signaling in cellular models
• Energy homeostasis and appetite regulation pathway modeling
• Hypothalamic signaling interactions in preclinical systems
• Autonomic pathway modulation in controlled research environments

History of Melanotan 2
Melanotan 2 was developed at the University of Arizona in the 1980s during research into synthetic melanocortin analogues with improved receptor potency and metabolic stability compared to endogenous α-MSH.
Its cyclic structure and broad melanocortin receptor affinity made MT-2 a widely used research tool for studying the melanocortin system across pigmentation biology, energy regulation, and neuroendocrine pathway research in preclinical models.
MT-2 remains a reference compound in melanocortin receptor pharmacology research, studied exclusively within controlled laboratory environments.
