MT-2 is a potent synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone ($\alpha$-MSH). In research settings, it is primarily studied for its ability to stimulate melanogenesis by binding to melanocortin receptors.
Melanogenesis: Investigation into rapid melanin production and skin pigmentation.
Photoprotection: Evaluation of increased melanin as a defense against UV-induced DNA damage.
Metabolic Signaling: Studies regarding its secondary effects on appetite suppression and lipid metabolism.
⚠️ STRICTLY FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY: This product is a synthesized hormone intended for laboratory research and in-vitro testing. It is NOT intended for human consumption, or diagnostic/therapeutic use.

MT-2 is a synthetic analog of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone ($\alpha$-MSH), engineered for high-precision research into melanocortin receptor activation. At Midwest Peptide, we provide this 10mg lyophilized vial to the standards required for rigorous in vitro study.
Research indicates that MT-2 interacts primarily with the MC1R and MC4R pathways. In controlled laboratory settings, it is widely utilized to observe the stimulation of melanin production in skin cell models. Beyond pigmentation, the compound is a focal point for investigating metabolic energy balance, appetite regulation, and physiological libido responses.
