Description
MT-2 | 10mg | Research Peptide
For In Vitro Research Use Only — Not for Human or Veterinary Use
Product Overview
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.
