Melanotan 2 (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is primarily studied for its melanotropic activity, including potential roles in inducing skin pigmentation, tanning mechanisms, energy regulation, and neuropeptide feedback in laboratory settings.
Mechanism of action
Non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R); activates MC1R for melanogenesis/tanning, MC4R for CNS-mediated effects like appetite suppression and sexual arousal pathways in pigmentation, metabolic, and behavioral neuroscience research models.
Lyophilized: 2–8°C preferred. Post-reconstitution: 4°C, 5–7 days.
Add 1–2 mL sterile or bacteriostatic water. Use immediately or refrigerate. Do not freeze post-reconstitution.
