Melanotan 2, also written Melanotan II, MT2, or MT-2, is a synthetic melanocortin-receptor agonist studied for melanocortin, pigmentation, appetite, and libido-pathway research. It is a well-known member of the melanocortin family and is studied for how it engages the melanocortin receptors involved in pigment-cell (melanocyte) signalling. The 10mg vial is the standard reference format.In preclinical and in-vitro models, Melanotan 2 is investigated for its activity across several melanocortin receptor subtypes, which is why the literature studies it for pigmentation pathways alongside appetite and central-signalling models. Its broad receptor engagement is the defining research characteristic and the reason it is studied as a reference melanocortin agonist.Melanotan 2 shares its melanocortin lineage with PT-141 (bremelanotide); researchers comparing melanocortin-pathway compounds often study the two together, they overlap on receptor engagement but are investigated for different pathway emphases, PT-141 for centrally mediated signalling and Melanotan 2 for broader melanocortin activity including pigmentation models.Every 10mg vial ships lyophilised with an independently verified batch certificate at a guaranteed floor of ≥98% purity, verifiable on the batch verification page using the batch number on the label. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water: add it slowly down the inside wall of the vial, swirl gently, and never shake. Store the unopened vial at 2 to 8°C; refrigerate once reconstituted and do not refreeze. CAS reference 121062-08-6.Buying Melanotan 2 in Australia is domestic: free Australia Post Express shipping to every state and territory, no minimum spend, dispatch from within Australia, and tracking on every parcel. Checkout accepts card, PayPal, or PayID, each vial is sealed under argon, and a 24-hour reservation holds your stock from order.
