MT2 10

Analytical Reagent MT-II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of the endogenous α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This reagent is utilized in laboratory research to investigate melanocortin receptor (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R) agonism and its role in modulating systemic physiological pathways. Research applications focus on the study of signal transduction in cutaneous models, the interrogation of inflammatory response markers, and the investigation of neuroendocrine signaling within metabolic research environments.
