Description
Description
MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetically manufactured, highly purified peptide analog of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This specialized compound is a cyclic heptapeptide sequence engineered to function as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors (specifically MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC5). It is developed specifically to facilitate the evaluation of competitive receptor binding affinities, enzyme tracking, and associated metabolic and central nervous system pathway interactions in in vitro models. Our MT-2 reagent is synthesized utilizing advanced solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) methodologies and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purification protocols. This process yields a pristine, highly stable lyophilized white crystalline powder cake optimized for consistency, structural longevity, and reproducible results across high-throughput analytical screening and cellular assays.

Laboratory Storage & Handling Parameters
-
- Lyophilized Storage: To maintain optimal structural integrity and prevent natural peptide degradation, store the dry powder cake continuously frozen at or below -20°C prior to evaluation. Stable under properly desiccated conditions for up to 24 months from the manufacturing date.
- Solvent Compatibility: This reagent is structurally evaluated for dissolution testing utilizing standard laboratory solvents, such as sterile Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol) or sterile 0.9% Sodium Chloride.
- Post-Solvent Stability: Once a liquid phase is introduced for analytical evaluation, the compound must be maintained under continuous refrigeration between 2°C and 8°C (36°F to 46°F) and completely protected from prolonged exposure to direct light or ambient UV radiation.
