Overview
Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It interacts with melanocortin receptors and has been widely explored in biochemical, dermatological, and neuroendocrine research.
Research Context
Studies in non-human models have highlighted:
Pigmentation pathways: MT-2 is known to activate melanocortin receptors involved in melanin production, making it a common peptide for studying pigmentation signaling.
Energy and appetite pathways: Research has shown MT-2 interacts with MC3R and MC4R, receptors involved in feeding behavior and metabolic signaling.
Sexual behavior studies: MT-2 has also been used in neuroendocrine labs examining arousal-related signaling pathways.
Inflammatory modulation: Some research points to melanocortin receptors playing a role in anti-inflammatory cascades.
What Researchers Use It For
MT-2 is typically used to study:
Melanocortin receptor activation
Melanin production pathways
Metabolic signaling
Neuroendocrine peptide interactions
This nasal-spray presentation is commonly used in studies that examine peptide stability, dispersion, diffusion, or environmental breakdown.

Lab Handling Overview for Nano/Mist Devices
This device is designed to support laboratory environments where researchers work with diluted peptide solutions and sterile media. It provides a controlled method for dispersing research materials in a fine mist suitable for in-vitro setups, surface exposure studies, and general aerosol-based research modeling.
General Research Preparation Context
Researchers often prepare peptide samples by first reconstituting them in a small volume of sterile diluent to create a concentrated stock solution. Once the stock solution is prepared, it may then be combined with a larger volume of sterile water or other lab-grade diluent depending on the experimental design or desired concentration for in-vitro studies.
This device’s reservoir is intended to hold the secondary diluent volume, while the initial stock solution—once prepared independently in a controlled environment—can be introduced afterward to achieve the final laboratory concentration required for the experiment. All preparation should be performed using aseptic technique and according to the researcher’s internal protocols.
Important Laboratory Notes
Use aseptic technique when handling peptides, diluents, and device reservoirs
Ensure all containers, tools, and surfaces remain contamination-free
Follow your lab’s internal concentration, dilution, and handling guidelines
Do not exceed the device’s stated fluid capacity
Replace any compromised or contaminated solutions immediately
