Recommended solvent — Bacteriostatic water
In laboratory workflows, lyophilized research peptides are typically handled with suitable sterile diluents such as bacteriostatic water (BAC). For a compatible research-only solvent, see Bacteriostatic water.
Research Overview
Melanotan 2 (MT-II) belongs to the cyclic lactam heptapeptides (Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2) and is modelled on the core of alpha-MSH. CAS 121062-08-6, molecular weight 1024.2 g·mol⁻¹; the product is a lyophilized peptide powder.
It serves as a non-selective reference ligand in melanocortin receptor pharmacology, melanocyte pigmentation assays and hypothalamic feeding and sexual-behaviour research in rodents. Studied in vitro and in animal models; no approved clinical application in any jurisdiction.
Studied in
- Melanocortin receptors — MC1R to MC5R binding
- Pigmentation — melanocyte melanin assays
- Energy balance — hypothalamic feeding circuits
- Neuroendocrinology — rodent sexual behaviour models
