MT-II (Melanotan II) is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), designed to interact with melanocortin receptors. SHPeptide supplies MT-II at high purity for use in controlled laboratory and research settings only.

About MT-II

MT-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.

Research Applications

• Melanocortin receptor binding affinity and selectivity studies (MC1R–MC5R)
• Pigmentation and melanogenesis research in cell culture models
• Investigation of melanocortin signalling in hypothalamic and peripheral tissue models
• Appetite regulation and energy balance pathway research
• Comparative studies with endogenous α-MSH and other melanocortin analogues
