MT-II (melanotan II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and a non-selective melanocortin-receptor agonist. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory use.
Research context
In published literature, MT-II is studied in the context of melanocortin-receptor (e.g., MC1R/MC4R) pathway research using in-vitro and preclinical models. Glow Peptides supplies MT-II strictly as a reference material for such in-vitro and preclinical research. It is not a therapeutic product and is not for human or veterinary use.
Handling & storage
MT-II is supplied lyophilized (freeze-dried). General laboratory handling practice for research materials of this type:
- Sealed vials: store lyophilized powder cold and away from light; long-term storage is typically in a freezer. Keep the vial sealed until the material is needed for analysis.
- Documentation: record the lot number and its Certificate of Analysis for your records.
