What is Melanotan 2?
Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide, a ring of seven amino acids, designed as an analog of alpha-MSH. Its formula is C50H69N15O9 and it weighs 1,024.20 g/mol.
What sets it apart from Melanotan 1 is a lactam bridge, an internal bond that bends the chain into a ring. The ring makes it more compact and harder for enzymes to break down. It was first made in the 1990s. Because of its shape, it fits several melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R), so it’s classed as non-selective.

What researchers study Melanotan 2 for
Melanotan 2 has been used in pigmentation research and was the starting point for PT-141. It isn’t approved for any human use. Ours is for lab research only. See NIH PubChem.
How to store Melanotan 2
Refrigerate at 36 to 46 °F (2 to 8 °C). It dissolves in water and in dilute acetic acid.
Most labs reconstitute with Research Water, which is sterile-filtered water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol.
When it’s time to reconstitute, let the vial come to room temperature first. Add the solvent slowly down the inside wall of the vial so it doesn’t hit the powder directly, then swirl gently until the liquid is clear. Don’t shake it. Write the date on the label so you know how long it’s been mixed.

Melanotan 2 FAQ
Why is Melanotan 2 called non-selective?
It binds several melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R), not just one.
What does the lactam bridge do?
It closes the chain into a ring, which makes the peptide more compact and stable.
Is Melanotan 2 5mg for human use?
No. It’s sold for laboratory research only. It isn’t approved for human or veterinary use, and we don’t give dosing advice.
