Melanotan II (MT-II)

Description

Not for Human or Veterinary Use Melanotan II is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied for its effects on melanocortin receptors—particularly MC1R and MC4R—involved in pigmentation, appetite regulation, and sexual function. Its receptor activity offers researchers a way to investigate the body’s natural tanning mechanisms and neuroendocrine signaling pathways. Melanotan II is often used in studies exploring skin pigmentation modulation, central nervous system effects, and melanocortin receptor selectivity.
