MT-2, commonly known as Melanotan II, is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide supplied for controlled laboratory, analytical, and scientific research.
Its structure includes N-terminal acetylation, norleucine (Nle), D-phenylalanine, C-terminal amidation, and an internal lactam ring formed between the Asp and Lys side chains. These features form part of the compound’s complete molecular identity and should be preserved in technical documentation.
For accurate product specifications, the exact chemical form, counter-ion status, purity profile, and lot-specific analytical data should be confirmed using the applicable Certificate of Analysis.
Research Applications
MT-2 may be examined in controlled non-clinical research involving:
- Cyclic peptide characterization
- Ligand-receptor interaction studies
- Structure-function analysis
- Modified amino-acid research
- Analytical peptide comparison
- Molecular binding studies
- Stability assessment
- Non-clinical biochemical and cellular models
Any experimental observations should remain specific to the applicable research model and should not be interpreted as evidence of cosmetic, pigmentation-related, behavioral, therapeutic, or clinical effectiveness.
Structural Information
MT-2 is commonly represented as:
Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH₂
Key structural features include:
- Seven amino-acid residues
- N-terminal acetylation
- Norleucine residue
- D-phenylalanine residue
- C-terminal amidation
- Intramolecular lactam cyclization
Because MT-2 contains non-standard residues, stereochemistry, and cyclization, a simplified one-letter peptide sequence alone is not sufficient to describe its complete chemical identity.
Analytical Identification
Relevant analytical characterization may include:
- Peptide identity confirmation
- Molecular mass assessment
- Cyclization verification
- Modified-residue confirmation
- Stereochemical verification
- Chromatographic purity testing
- Structural characterization
- Lot-specific quality analysis
If the product is supplied as an acetate, TFA, or another counter-ion form, molecular specifications should match that exact preparation.
Specifications & Documentation
Lot-specific documentation should be reviewed for:
- Compound identity
- Peptide structure
- Molecular formula
- Molecular weight
- Modified amino-acid residues
- Cyclization
- Terminal modifications
- Salt or counter-ion form
- Purity specification
- Analytical testing
- Lot or batch information
- Certificate of Analysis
- Storage requirements
Authenticated product-specific documentation should take precedence over generalized reference specifications.
Storage & Handling
Store according to the conditions specified on the product label and Certificate of Analysis. Protect the material from environmental conditions that could compromise peptide integrity.
Handling should follow established laboratory procedures appropriate for research peptide materials.
Research Use Only
MT-2 is supplied exclusively for laboratory research, analytical testing, and scientific reference purposes.
