MT-2 10mg Research Material

MT-2 is a synthetic cyclic melanocortin peptide derived from alpha-MSH sequence research. Its lactam-bridged structure is used experimentally to study conformational restriction, melanocortin-receptor binding and functional selectivity across receptor subtypes.

Each product page links to the analytical documentation for the current batch so researchers can verify the exact material supplied rather than relying on a catalogue-wide purity claim.

Technical Specifications

Independent Batch Testing

Current batch ZC0032 was independently tested by Sonic Laboratory. The report records 99.65% HPLC purity and includes mass-spectrometry identity analysis under laboratory reference SD20260820_013. View the matching report in our Batch Verification and COA Centre.

MT-2 Research Context

MT-2 has been used as a reference agonist in cell-based receptor assays and animal studies of melanocortin signalling. Modern medicinal-chemistry work also uses the scaffold to compare how cyclisation and linker geometry alter affinity at human melanocortin receptors. Findings from receptor systems or animal models do not establish safety, efficacy or an approved human application.

Research results can vary with material identity, concentration, assay design and model system. Findings from one experiment or batch should not be assumed to apply universally. ZENTRA does not provide medical, therapeutic or dosing guidance.

Storage and Handling

Keep unopened lyophilised material at approximately -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C for short-term laboratory storage. Protect from light, moisture and repeated temperature changes. Use appropriate laboratory handling procedures and consult the Research Peptide Storage Guide and Lyophilised Peptide Reconstitution Guide.

MT-2 Research FAQs

What is MT-2?

MT-2 is a conformationally constrained cyclic melanocortin-receptor research peptide.

Why is the peptide cyclic?

The lactam bridge restricts peptide conformation and is studied for its effect on receptor affinity and selectivity.

How is purity verified?

Batch ZC0032 was independently analysed by Sonic Laboratory and recorded 99.65% HPLC purity.

Which size is available?

This product is supplied in a 10mg research format.

Is this a licensed medicine?

No. ZENTRA supplies it solely as laboratory research material and provides no medical or dosing guidance.
