Melanotan II (MT-2; molecular formula C50H69N15O9) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide and a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist. In laboratory settings it is studied for its broad binding profile across MC1, MC3, MC4 and MC5 receptors, used to probe melanogenesis, energy homeostasis and related signaling pathways in vitro.
Laboratory Research Focus
MT-2 is used as a tool compound in melanocortin receptor binding assays and cell-culture models of pigmentation and energy-balance pathways. Researchers verify each batch by reverse-phase HPLC and ESI-MS against a reference standard before experimental use.
- Melanocortin receptor binding Studied across MC1/MC3/MC4/MC5 in vitro.
- Melanogenesis pathways Applied in pigmentation cell-culture models.
- Energy homeostasis Examined alongside central energy-balance readouts.

Reconstitution & Storage
Reconstitute with sterile bacteriostatic water before laboratory use. Allow the diluent to reach room temperature and inject it slowly down the inner vial wall; do not shake or vortex. Roll the vial gently until the solution is clear and uniform.
Store unopened lyophilized powder at −20°C, protected from light. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated at 2–8°C and use promptly. Handle with appropriate PPE in a certified laboratory setting.
