SHPeptide supplies MT-II at high purity for use in controlled laboratory and research settings only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout MT-II\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMT-II is a cyclic heptapeptide that binds with high affinity to melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R), making it a widely used tool in receptor pharmacology and pigmentation research. Its structural similarity to endogenous α-MSH, combined with its enhanced receptor binding profile, makes it a valuable compound for investigators studying melanocortin signalling pathways, skin biology, and related physiological mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResearch Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelanocortin receptor binding affinity and selectivity studies (MC1R–MC5R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePigmentation and melanogenesis research in cell culture models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvestigation of melanocortin signalling in hypothalamic and peripheral tissue models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppetite regulation and energy balance pathway research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparative studies with endogenous α-MSH and other melanocortin analogues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll SHPeptide compounds are manufactured under strict quality control conditions.
