Melanotan II (MT-2)

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) developed for research into melanocortin receptor activity and its effects on pigmentation and neuroendocrine signaling pathways. It is structurally related to MT-1 but has a broader receptor activity profile within the melanocortin system.

In laboratory research, MT-2 is commonly studied for its interaction with melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R), which are involved in pigmentation, energy balance, and neurobehavioral regulation. Because of its multi-receptor activity, it is frequently used in studies spanning dermatology, neurobiology, and metabolic signaling research.
