What is the Melanotan 2 Starter Kit?

The Melanotan 2 Starter Kit contains a 30mg vial of high purity MT-2 peptide (Acetate Salt) combined with essential research supplies. Melanotan 2 is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). Unlike full-length alpha-MSH, MT-2 is more stable and potent in research models due to its lactam bridge structure. Buy 30mg Melanotan 2 Starter Kit online EU

This starter kit is designed for research institutions and laboratories conducting studies on melanogenesis, UV photoprotection, and melanocortin receptor activation. The 30mg size provides sufficient material for extended study protocols, making it an economical choice for dose-response research.

Mechanism of Action: How MT-2 Works in Research

Melanotan 2 is a cyclic lactam heptapeptide analogue of alpha-MSH with the amino acid sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2. Its primary mechanism involves:

Melanocortin Receptor Activation: MT-2 is a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R and MC4R. Activation of MC1R on melanocytes stimulates adenylate cyclase, increasing cyclic AMP levels and activating protein kinase A (PKA). This pathway upregulates tyrosinase expression, the rate-limiting enzyme in melanin synthesis. Buy 30mg Melanotan 2 Starter Kit online EU

Photoprotection Research: By increasing epidermal melanin density, MT-2 is studied for its potential to provide UV-independent photoprotection. Research models evaluate its ability to reduce UV-induced DNA damage and erythema.

Reconstitution Guidelines

For accurate research dosing, follow this protocol:

1. Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation

2. Wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab

3. Draw 3ml of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe

4. Inject the water slowly down the inner vial wall to avoid foaming

5. Gently swirl until complete dissolution (do not shake)

6. Concentration = 30mg / 3ml = 10mg per 1ml (1000mcg per 0.1ml)

Handling and Safety Protocols

For research use only. Proper handling ensures experimental integrity:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

• Laboratory coat

• Nitrile gloves (powder-free)

• Safety goggles

• Use in a certified biosafety cabinet when handling lyophilized powder

Injection Site Preparation (for in vivo studies)

• Use subcutaneous injection technique in rodent models

• Rotate injection sites (dorsal flank, scruff)

• Clean site with 70% isopropyl alcohol prior to administration

Spill Procedure

1. Wear appropriate PPE

2. Cover spill with absorbent material

3. Clean with 10% bleach solution followed by 70% ethanol

4. Dispose of waste according to local biohazard regulations

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is included in the Melanotan 2 Starter Kit?

The kit includes one 30mg vial of Melanotan 2 (MT-2) lyophilized powder, one 30ml vial of bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol), ten 0.5ml U-100 insulin syringes (29G), ten alcohol swabs, and a detailed product insert with reconstitution and handling protocols.

What is the molecular weight and sequence of MT-2?

The molecular formula is C50H69N15O9 with a molecular weight of 1024.20 g/mol (free base). The sequence is Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2.

What purity level does EU Research Peptides offer?

Our MT-2 is tested at >99% purity by HPLC with mass spectrometry confirmation. Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with detailed purity data, including endotoxin levels below 0.05 EU/mg.

How should I reconstitute the 30mg MT-2 vial?

Add 3ml of bacteriostatic water to the 30mg vial. This yields a concentration of 10mg per ml (1000mcg per 0.1ml). For smaller dosing volumes, add 6ml for 5mg per ml concentration. Inject the diluent slowly down the vial wall to avoid foaming.

What is the recommended storage for MT-2?

Lyophilized MT-2 should be stored at -20 C or below, desiccated, and protected from light. After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2-8 C and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

What is the CAS number for Melanotan 2?

The CAS number for Melanotan 2 is 121062-08-6.

What are the primary research applications for MT-2?

Melanotan 2 is studied in photoprotection research (UV protection, DNA damage prevention), dermatology studies (vitiligo, polymorphic light eruption), melanocortin receptor research (MC1R, MC4R signaling), and preclinical models of appetite regulation and sexual function.

What safety precautions should be taken when handling MT-2?

Always use appropriate PPE including laboratory coat, nitrile gloves, and safety goggles. Handle lyophilized powder in a certified biosafety cabinet. Follow institutional biosafety guidelines for peptide research. For spill cleanup, use 10% bleach solution followed by 70% ethanol.

Is the bacteriostatic water sterile?

Yes, the included bacteriostatic water is sterile, containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It is suitable for peptide reconstitution for research purposes.
