Description:
MT-2 is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied for its interaction with melanocortin receptors involved in pigmentation pathways. In vitro research has examined its role in melanin synthesis, as well as melanocortin receptor activity related to appetite, libido, and energy regulation.
This product is supplied as a 10mg lyophilized peptide intended strictly for controlled laboratory research.
