MT-2 10mg Peptides
Designed for precision-focused studies, this lyophilized MT-2 vial reflects a disciplined approach to peptide quality and consistency.
Better Molecule MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a lyophilized peptide vial engineered for controlled laboratory workflows. As part of our melanocortin collection, this research-grade material is supplied in a stable, dry format for reliable reconstitution and methodical handling. Total content: 10mg per vial.
- Each vial contains 10mg of MT-2 (Melanotan II), a melanocortin analog commonly evaluated in vitro for receptor interactions and pigmentation-related signaling pathways, supporting standardized, reproducible research models.
Formulated as a compact lyophilized cake, this material is built for clean, efficient preparation. Upon reconstitution with an appropriate sterile diluent, the peptide is intended to dissolve uniformly to support clear measurement, aliquoting, and downstream analysis. The format is suited to bench-top planning where consistency, traceability, and careful technique are paramount.
Every lot is produced with a focus on integrity—tight handling controls, careful environmental oversight, and rigorous documentation help maintain continuity from batch to batch. Third-party testing for identity and purity, along with lot-level traceability, reinforces the reliability required for professional research settings. Each vial is securely packaged to protect against moisture and light during storage and transport.
Store unopened vials in a cool, dry location away from direct light. Follow standard laboratory practices for reconstitution and handling, including aseptic technique and appropriate personal protective equipment. Use promptly after reconstitution in line with your laboratory’s protocols and stability assessments.
Better Molecule operates with an exacting, quality-first mindset: disciplined sourcing, methodical processing, and transparent documentation. Our goal is straightforward—deliver dependable peptides that support clear, confident experimental design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MT-2?
MT-2 usually refers to Melanotan II, a melanocortin receptor agonist used in experimental research. It is distinct from MT-1 because it is commonly described as broader and more potent across melanocortin receptors. On a research site, it should be presented as a laboratory peptide for receptor-signaling and pigmentation studies.
What is MT-2 typically studied for?
MT-2 is commonly studied for melanogenesis, pigmentation pathways, and broader melanocortin-receptor biology. In the literature it also appears in appetite and sexual-behavior discussions because melanocortin signaling extends beyond skin pigmentation, but those are still research contexts rather than broad consumer claims.
What are melanocortin peptides?
Melanocortin peptides are a family of signaling peptides derived from the precursor protein proopiomelanocortin (POMC). The family includes α-MSH, β-MSH, γ-MSH, and ACTH, along with a number of synthetic analogs developed for research purposes, such as Melanotan I, Melanotan II, PT-141, and others.
Melanocortins are studied in connection with pigmentation pathways, appetite and energy balance research, and sexual-function signaling, depending on which receptor subtype is engaged. All melanocortin-class compounds offered by Better Molecule are lyophilized research materials intended solely for in vitro laboratory investigation.
What is the melanocortin receptor system?
The melanocortin receptor system is a family of five G protein-coupled receptors designated MC1R through MC5R. Each subtype has a different tissue distribution and research-studied function: MC1R is associated with melanocyte biology and pigmentation, MC2R with adrenal cortex signaling, MC3R and MC4R with central nervous system pathways related to energy balance, and MC5R with exocrine tissues.
Research on melanocortin peptides is largely organized around which receptor subtypes a given peptide preferentially engages. This receptor selectivity is a key variable in how these compounds are studied in the laboratory.
How do α-MSH and related peptides fit into this family?
α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) is a 13-amino-acid peptide derived from POMC and is one of the best-studied members of the melanocortin family. It is investigated primarily in the context of MC1R signaling and pigmentation research, but it also interacts with other melanocortin receptors at varying affinities.
Synthetic analogs such as Melanotan I and Melanotan II were developed to study more stable or receptor-selective variants of the natural α-MSH sequence. These analogs retain the core structural features of α-MSH while differing in their stability and receptor preference, which makes them useful reference compounds in melanocortin-system research.
