MT-2 (Melanotan 2) is a synthetic 7-amino-acid cyclic analog of alpha-MSH that activates multiple melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R) non-selectively. In research it is studied for melanocortin pathway pharmacology, central appetite regulation, and pigmentation signaling. Supplied strictly for Research Use Only.
MT-2 is a broader-spectrum melanocortin agonist that activates multiple receptors. MT-1 is more selective for MC1R. The selectivity difference is studied to distinguish pigmentation pathways (MC1R) from central appetite and sexual function pathways (MC4R) in research models.
MT-2 is studied in preclinical research on melanocortin receptor signaling, central appetite pathways, energy balance, and pigmentation research. All cited studies are conducted in cellular or rodent systems consistent with the molecule's RUO classification.
