General guidance for this class

Reference standards in the Bone / Cartilage class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.

Mechanism & research applications

Myelopeptide-2 (MP-2) sits within the Bone / Cartilage research class (CPC reference OSTP-005). These peptides interact with bone- and cartilage-relevant receptors and matrix proteins — including RANK/RANKL, PTH1R, integrins, and collagen-binding motifs — modulating osteoblast, osteoclast, and chondrocyte activity in cellular and organ-culture models. Investigators typically incorporate Myelopeptide-2 (MP-2) as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Commonly paired with ALP, TRAP, or Alizarin Red staining in cell-based readouts.

Studied for

  • Osteoblast / osteoclast differentiation assays
  • Chondrocyte and cartilage-explant remodeling studies
  • Bone-resorption and mineralization models
  • Biomaterial functionalization for orthopaedic scaffolds

Frequently asked

What is Myelopeptide-2 (MP-2)?

Myelopeptide-2 (MP-2) (CPC catalog code OSTP-005) is a synthetic bone / cartilage biology peptide in the bone / cartilage category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is Myelopeptide-2 (MP-2) studied for?

Published and internal research programs use Myelopeptide-2 (MP-2) as a reference standard in bone / cartilage workflows — for example, osteoblast / osteoclast differentiation assays and chondrocyte and cartilage-explant remodeling studies. Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is Myelopeptide-2 (MP-2) FDA-approved for human use?

No. Myelopeptide-2 (MP-2) is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.

How is Myelopeptide-2 (MP-2) typically used in the lab?

In a bone / cartilage workflow, Myelopeptide-2 (MP-2) is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Commonly paired with ALP, TRAP, or Alizarin Red staining in cell-based readouts.
