MT-2 (Melanotan II) 10 mg — the non-selective melanocortin agonist
Where its predecessor was engineered for precision, Melanotan II was engineered for breadth. Its activity across multiple melanocortin receptors is exactly what makes it a valuable — and heavily studied — research tool.

What is MT-2 (Melanotan II)?

Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Its cyclic lactam structure confers considerably greater metabolic stability than the linear native hormone. Unlike the more receptor-selective MT-1, Melanotan II is a non-selective agonist active across several melanocortin receptor subtypes, including MC1R and MC4R. That breadth is the reason it appears throughout melanocortin literature: a single compound that lets researchers probe pigmentary, appetite-related and behavioural melanocortin pathways within one experimental system.

Research interest

• MC1R pigmentation signalling — studied in research contexts examining melanocyte stimulation and eumelanin synthesis pathways.
• MC4R pharmacology — investigated by researchers exploring central melanocortin signalling and its metabolic associations.
• Receptor selectivity mapping — used as the non-selective counterpart to MT-1 in comparative melanocortin studies.
• Cyclic peptide stability — a frequently cited example of how lactam cyclisation improves peptide resistance to enzymatic degradation.
• Structure-activity research — referenced in literature on melanocortin analogue design and receptor subtype discrimination.

Because its research value depends on a defined receptor profile, structural integrity is critical — a compromised lactam ring changes the molecule's behaviour entirely. Every Rogue lot is analytically verified and traceable to its production batch.

Specifications

• Content: 10 mg of active substance per vial
• Form: Lyophilised powder (vial)
• Purity: Pharmaceutical-grade, batch-tested and lot-traceable
• Presentation: Sealed, tamper-evident single vial
• Storage: -20 °C sealed, protected from light

Handling & storage

Lyophilised material is best held at -20 °C in the sealed, unopened vial. Refrigeration at 2-8 °C is acceptable for short-term handling. Protect from light, humidity and repeated freeze-thaw exposure. Store sealed, dry and frozen, shielded from light. Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening. Laboratory reconstitution should use an appropriate sterile diluent under the facility's validated procedure; refrigerate the resulting solution, keep it light-protected and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycling.

Why researchers buy from Rogue

• Batch-tested, not batch-guessed — purity and identity verified before a vial is ever listed.
• Authentic European sourcing — a short, controlled supply chain with sealed, tamper-evident vials.
• Consistency across orders — lot-to-lot control so repeat work stays comparable.
• Fast, tracked, discreet — quick EU-wide dispatch in unmarked packaging.
