Buy MT2 - Melanotan II 10mg Australia

Description

Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), developed at the University of Arizona as part of melanocortin receptor research. It acts as a non-selective agonist at MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R, with particularly high potency at MC1R, the receptor governing melanogenesis in epidermal melanocytes. MC1R activation stimulates eumelanin production via the cAMP-PKA-MITF pathway, resulting in increased skin pigmentation. MT-II also activates the central MC4R, underpinning its well-documented effects on sexual arousal and appetite modulation in animal studies. It was the precursor compound from which the more selective MC4R agonist Bremelanotide (PT-141) was derived. This 10mg research vial is suited for in vitro and preclinical investigation of melanocortin receptor pharmacology, pigmentation biology, and MC4R-linked signalling. Sequence: Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2. CAS: 121062-08-6. For research use only. Not for human consumption.
