Description
Description
MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetically manufactured, highly purified peptide analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (\(\alpha \)-MSH). This specialized compound is a cyclic heptapeptide sequence engineered to function as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors (specifically MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC5), facilitating the evaluation of melanogenesis, protective cellular pigmentation, and associated metabolic and central nervous system receptor pathways in in vitro models.
Our MT-2 reagent is synthesized utilizing advanced solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) methodologies and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purification protocols. This process yields a pristine, highly stable lyophilized white crystalline powder cake optimized for consistency, structural longevity, and reproducible results across high-throughput analytical screening and cellular assays.

Reconstitution & Laboratory Storage
-
- Lyophilized Storage: To maintain optimal structural integrity and prevent natural peptide degradation, store the dry powder cake continuously frozen at or below -20°C prior to evaluation. Stable under properly desiccated conditions for up to 24 months from the manufacturing date.
- Reconstitution Guidelines: Allow the glass vial to naturally acclimatize to room temperature before introducing an appropriate laboratory solvent, such as sterile Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol). Gently swirl the container until the white powder dissolves completely. Do not shake or agitate aggressively, as high kinetic force can destabilize and fracture delicate peptide bonds.
- Post-Reconstitution Storage: Once liquid solution has been introduced, store continuously refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Protect entirely from prolonged exposure to direct light or ambient UV radiation. Utilize within 30 days of fluid integration.
