Melanotan-2 Research Reference: Melanocortin Agonist

Melanotan-2 (MT-2) — non-selective melanocortin-receptor agonist reference for Texas pigmentation-science labs.

Written for the Texas research community, this reference brings together the documentation Texas dermal-pigmentation labs cite for Melanotan-2 that labs from Austin to Houston, Dallas to San Antonio typically request when qualifying a new lot. Every batch we dispatch from our Texas warehouse ships with the analytical documentation described below.

Melanotan-2 is a cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-MSH with broad melanocortin-receptor agonism (MC1R–MC5R). Its published research focus is on melanogenesis endpoints in cultured melanocytes — a common assay in Texas pigmentation-science bench work.

Pep Labs 365 ships every research peptide from our Texas facility with a lot-matched Certificate of Analysis, third-party HPLC purity, and LC-MS identity confirmation.

Research use only. Pep Labs 365 supplies materials strictly for in vitro and laboratory research from our Texas facility. Nothing in this article is medical, therapeutic, or dosage guidance for human or animal use.
