MT-2 (Melanocortin Receptor Agonist)

Format: 10mg Lyophilized Research Standard

MT-2 is a synthetic cyclic lactam analogue of the endogenous peptide hormone $\alpha$-MSH ($\alpha$-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone). This compound is a high-affinity, non-selective agonist of the melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R).

In laboratory environments, MT-2 is utilized as a potent tool for investigating the biochemical pathways of melanogenesis, the systemic modulation of energy homeostasis, and the physiological triggers of the melanocortin system.

Primary Areas of Laboratory Interest

1. MC1R Signalling & Melanogenesis

Research focuses on the compound’s high affinity for the Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R).

  • Pigmentation Modelling: Investigators utilize MT-2 to study the enzymatic conversion of tyrosine to eumelanin within follicular and epidermal cellular models.

  • Eumelanin Synthesis: Documentation of the rate and density of melanin production in in vitro assays.

2. Photobiological Shielding Research

Studies investigate the role of upregulated melanin synthesis in providing cellular-level photoprotection:

  • UV-Induced Stress: Observing the compound's impact on reducing UV-induced DNA fragmentation.

  • Oxidative Pathway Modulation: Analysing the stabilization of epidermal cells under conditions of targeted radiation.

3. MC4R Pathway & Metabolic Kinetics

MT-2 is utilized to study the MC4R receptor's influence on systemic energy flux:

  • Energy Homeostasis: Observing the integration of peripheral metabolic signals within the central nervous system.

  • Lipid Metabolism: Researching the impact of melanocortin agonism on fatty acid oxidation markers in metabolic research models.

4. Neurological Signalling

As a blood-brain barrier-permeable peptide, MT-2 is a primary subject in neuro-biological studies:

  • Central Signalling: Investigating the role of the melanocortin system in erectile signalling pathways.

  • Reward-Pathway Modulation: Studying the neurochemical interactions between melanocortin agonists and dopaminergic centres.

⚠️ Critical Research & Safety Disclaimer
This content is for informational purposes only. MT 2 is widely classified as a research chemical and is not FDA-approved for human consumption. It is potent and requires careful dosing.

Side Effects: Nausea and facial flushing are common upon initial use.

Moles/Freckles: MT2 will darken all pigment, including existing moles. You must monitor your skin closely for changes.

Medical Supervision: Do not use this product without consulting a qualified medical professional. Improper use can lead to serious health complications.

In Relation to Cartridge and Pen Orders

 The product is reconstituted with 3ml BAC on day of dispatch to maximise potency by the time it arrives. To keep costs minimal, we do not ship with cool packs the product should maintain potency at room temperature for up to 21 days, and should be stored refrigerated as soon as you receive.
