Melanotan 2

Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts as a non-selective agonist at melanocortin receptors MC1R through MC5R, with particular potency at MC3R and MC4R, making it a widely used research tool for melanocortin system pharmacology.

Research Applications:

• Melanocortin receptor binding and signaling studies
• Pigmentation and melanogenesis research (MC1R)
• Energy balance and food intake regulation (MC3R/MC4R)
• Sexual behavior and erectile physiology research in animal models
