MT2
Melanocortin Receptor Agonist for In Vitro Research
MT2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide that acts as a potent non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R and MC4R. It is structurally designed to mimic the core binding motif of α-MSH, enhancing receptor affinity and promoting signal transduction in melanocortin-related pathways.
This peptide is commonly used in in vitro research to explore GPCR-mediated signaling, cyclic AMP accumulation, and receptor selectivity studies. Its sequence includes a lactam bridge formed between amino acid side chains, which contributes to its conformational stability, proteolytic resistance, and prolonged activity in solution.
The lyophilized format supports reliable solubility and reproducibility across cellular assay models.
