MELANOCORTIN RECEPTOR AGONIST

Melanotan-2 (MT-2) research10 mg vial, COA per batch

Melanotan-2 is a cyclic heptapeptide and non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors (MC1-5R). In preclinical research it is studied for interaction with pigmentation pathways and MC4R-mediated signalling.

What is Melanotan-2 (MT-2)?

MT-2 is derived from α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and optimised for metabolic stability through cyclisation and non-natural amino acids.

Research interest lies in melanogenesis (MC1R), appetite and sexual-response pathways (MC3R/MC4R) and comparison with selective agonists such as PT-141.
