Description
Melanotan II (MT-2) is a cyclic heptapeptide analog of the melanocortin-stimulating hormone family, engineered for research involving melanocortin receptor activity. In laboratory models, MT-2 is used to study how MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and other melanocortin receptors influence pigmentation pathways, energy regulation, appetitive signaling, and neuropeptide-driven biochemical responses. Its stability and strong receptor affinity make it a common tool in studies examining central melanocortin system behavior, receptor binding patterns, and downstream metabolic and neurological pathways.
