MT2 10mg

Description

Product Information

If you are looking to buy MT2 peptide in the UK, VITALA’s MT2 10mg vial is one of the most precisely formulated research-grade options available from a domestic UK supplier today.

MT2, commonly known as Melanotan 2, is a synthetic cyclic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It was originally developed from the same research programme that produced MT1, but with a key structural difference — MT2 is a cyclic peptide, which gives it a broader receptor binding profile and a significantly different range of physiological effects.

Where MT1 acts primarily and selectively at MC1R receptors in the skin, MT2 activates multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes — including MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R. This broader activity is what makes MT2 such a versatile and widely studied compound. It influences not just pigmentation, but also sexual arousal, appetite, energy balance, and a range of other centrally and peripherally mediated processes — all through the same family of receptors.

MT2 supports increased skin pigmentation, enhanced melanin production, improved photoprotection, increased sexual arousal and libido, reduced appetite, and better energy balance. Its broad receptor profile and multi-system effects make it one of the most wide-ranging and actively researched melanocortin peptides in peptide science today.

VITALA’s MT2 10mg vial gives UK researchers a stable, high-purity lyophilised compound that is straightforward to reconstitute and consistent to work with across a broad range of melanocortin receptor and multi-system study protocols.

Research Focus

MT2’s ability to activate multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes simultaneously makes it a uniquely broad research tool. Unlike more selective melanocortin peptides, MT2 allows researchers to study the interplay between different receptor pathways and how their combined activation shapes a wide range of physiological responses.

In UK laboratory settings, the VITALA MT2 10mg vial is currently being used to explore:

Skin Pigmentation and Melanogenesis: Like MT1, MT2 activates MC1R receptors on melanocytes to stimulate melanin production and skin pigmentation. Researchers are studying how the cyclic structure of MT2 influences the potency and duration of this effect compared to the linear MT1 analogue.

Photoprotection and UV Defence: By stimulating melanin synthesis, MT2 enhances the skin’s natural capacity to absorb and neutralise ultraviolet radiation. Studies are examining the photoprotective properties of MT2-induced melanogenesis and how these compare to those produced by MT1 in side-by-side research models.

Sexual Arousal and Libido: One of the most distinctly studied aspects of MT2 is its ability to influence sexual arousal through MC4R activation in the central nervous system. MT2 supports increased sexual desire and enhanced arousal response in both men and women — effects that are directly related to the same MC4R pathway studied in PT-141 (Bremelanotide) research. Researchers are investigating the precise neurological mechanisms behind these effects and how MC4R activation in the hypothalamus drives changes in desire and motivation.

Appetite Suppression and Energy Balance: MC4R activation is closely linked to appetite regulation and energy homeostasis. Studies are examining how MT2’s central melanocortin activity influences food intake, satiety signalling, and overall energy balance — making it a relevant compound for metabolic and obesity-related research.

MC3R and MC5R Activity: Beyond MC1R and MC4R, MT2 also engages MC3R and MC5R receptor subtypes. Researchers are studying the downstream effects of this broader receptor engagement, including MC3R’s role in energy homeostasis and MC5R’s involvement in exocrine gland function and sebaceous activity.

Melanocortin Receptor Pharmacology: MT2’s broad receptor profile makes it a valuable comparative tool for mapping the melanocortin system as a whole. Researchers use it alongside more selective compounds like MT1 and PT-141 to understand how different patterns of receptor activation lead to different physiological outcomes.

Erectile Function Research: MT2 has been studied for its effects on erectile function through central MC4R activation, representing one of the earliest areas of melanocortin research into sexual health. Scientists are investigating the neurological pathways involved and how these relate to the broader study of desire and arousal in both male and female research models.

Anti-Inflammatory and Immune Effects: Like other melanocortin peptides, MT2 has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties through its melanocortin receptor activity. Researchers are examining how these effects manifest across different tissue types and immune cell populations.

Composition of the MT2 Research Vial

VITALA MT2 is a single-compound research vial, giving researchers a clean and precisely dosed tool for studying this broad-spectrum melanocortin peptide in a controlled laboratory setting.

MT2 (Melanotan 2): 10mg — A synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), with the sequence Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2. MT2 acts as an agonist at MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R melanocortin receptor subtypes. Through MC1R activation it stimulates melanogenesis and skin pigmentation. Through MC4R activation in the central nervous system it supports increased sexual arousal, libido, and reduced appetite. Its broad receptor engagement makes it one of the most multi-functional melanocortin research compounds available. MT2 supports increased melanin production, enhanced photoprotection, improved sexual desire and arousal response in both men and women, appetite suppression, and broader melanocortin system modulation.

The compound is supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder. It requires reconstitution with bacteriostatic water under sterile laboratory conditions before use. This format ensures peptide stability during transit and provides an extended shelf life when stored at the correct temperature.

Storage and Laboratory Handling

Storing your MT2 vial is simple and straightforward. Before reconstitution, keep the vial refrigerated at between 2°C and 8°C and away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze the lyophilised powder as this can affect the structural integrity of the peptide chains.

Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store the solution in the refrigerator and use it within the recommended stability window for bacteriostatic peptide preparations. Always replace the cap firmly after each laboratory use to maintain a sterile environment and protect the remaining solution.
