Studied for its role in: 

  • Investigated as a synthetic melanocortin receptor agonist, with research examining its activity across melanocortin receptor-mediated signaling pathways.
  • Studied for its influence on melanogenesis, with experimental models exploring mechanisms involved in melanin production and pigment regulation.
  • Research explores its effects on melanocortin-mediated neuroendocrine signaling, including pathways involved in energy balance and physiological regulation.
  • Investigated for its potential to modulate ultraviolet (UV)-induced pigmentation responses, with studies evaluating cellular mechanisms in skin biology.
  • Studied for its pharmacological activity across melanocortin receptor subtypes, with ongoing research examining downstream cellular and physiological effects.
  • Research continues to evaluate its role in pigmentation biology, melanocortin receptor signaling, and neuroendocrine physiology in laboratory and clinical studies.

Product Description

MT2 (Melanotan II): 10mg

How it works

Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that acts as a nonselective agonist of melanocortin receptors (MCRs), primarily MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R. Activation of MC1R in melanocytes stimulates tyrosinase activity and eumelanin production, leading to skin pigmentation (tanning) independent of UV exposure. Activation of MC3R and MC4R in the central nervous system modulates energy homeostasis, appetite, and sexual arousal, enhancing libido and sexual behavior via hypothalamic pathways. MT-II also exerts modulatory effects on autonomic and cardiovascular function, including mild increases in blood pressure and heart rate, through peripheral melanocortin receptor signaling. Overall, it influences pigmentation, sexual function, and energy balance via central and peripheral melanocortin receptor activation.
