MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and a potent agonist at multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes. It was developed as a more stable and potent analogue of the naturally occurring melanocortin peptides. Heartland Bio Labs supplies MT-2 as a lyophilized research compound of verified purity.

MT-2 has been extensively studied in preclinical research involving melanocortin receptor pharmacology (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R), pigmentation biology, metabolic signaling models, and central nervous system signaling. Research has documented its high-affinity binding to melanocortin receptors and its role as a reference agonist in comparative melanocortin pharmacology. It has also been investigated in models of endocrine signaling, hypothalamic regulation, and immune modulation in animal studies.
This compound is supplied strictly for research purposes. No clinical or therapeutic application is implied or represented.

How should I store this peptide?+
Lyophilized peptides should be stored at −20°C in a dry, light-protected environment. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C and use within 4-8 weeks depending on the compound.
What should I reconstitute it with?+
Bacteriostatic water or sterile water for research use. We recommend our companion BAC Water for consistency. Specific reconstitution volume depends on your research protocol — refer to the Specifications tab for solubility data.
How quickly do orders ship?+
Orders confirmed before 2:00 PM CT ship the same business day from our facility in Tulsa, OK. Standard US transit is 2-5 business days. Tracking provided at shipment.
Is the COA verified independently?+
Yes. Every lot is tested by HPLC for purity (target ≥99%) and mass spectrometry for molecular identity before release. The COA is generated from the actual lot data, not a generic template.
Can I get bulk or institutional pricing?+
Yes — qualified research facilities and high-volume orders receive tiered pricing. Contact us with your institution information and target quantities.
