Research Grade Melanotan 2 MT2 Laboratory Peptide Reagent

1. Melanotan 2 (MT2) is a synthetic cyclic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), acting as a potent non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist. This lyophilized research-grade peptide is widely supplied for universities, pharmaceutical laboratories and research institutions to carry out mechanism studies on melanogenesis, melanocortin signal transduction, pigmentation regulation and related pharmacological exploration. This product is exclusively for laboratory scientific research, and cannot be used for clinical diagnosis, human administration, cosmetic raw material manufacturing or food processing.Stable Biological Activity

   
   

   Melanotan 2 can bind to multiple subtypes of melanocortin receptors and effectively activate downstream melanin synthesis signaling pathways. It is a classic tool peptide for pigment-related research and has been cited in numerous peer-reviewed academic papers. The lyophilized powder form effectively slows peptide hydrolysis and degradation, extends shelf life, and ensures stable biological activity in experimental batches.
2. Strict Batch Quality Control

   
   

   Every batch undergoes comprehensive quality inspection. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) is used for purity testing, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) verifies molecular weight to confirm complete structural consistency. Standard Certificate of Analysis (COA) containing complete test data can be provided upon customer request. Inspection indicators include moisture content, residual organic solvents, impurity distribution and bacterial endotoxin, fully meeting international testing standards for cell-level laboratory reagents.
3. Excellent Solubility

   
   

   The lyophilized solid powder dissolves well in sterile deionized water, PBS buffer and other common aqueous solutions for cell culture. The prepared stock solution can be diluted according to experimental schemes for receptor binding detection, cell function tests and in vitro pharmacological evaluation.
4. Flexible Supply & Customized Service

   
   

   We maintain stable inventory of standard packaging specifications. Customized net weight, label and packaging solutions are supported to meet diverse research project demands. Moisture-proof and shock-proof outer packaging ensures intact delivery during international sea and air transportation.

Storage, Transportation & Safety Instructions

1. Storage Tips: Keep the vial tightly sealed after sampling. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing, which accelerates peptide degradation. It is recommended to aliquot prepared stock solution and store at -20℃.
2. Transportation: Small orders support normal room-temperature transportation; cold-chain transportation is optional for bulk goods or long-distance shipment.
3. Operation Guidelines: Wear protective gloves, lab coat and safety goggles during operation to avoid direct contact with skin, eyes and respiratory tract. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water.
