Melanotan 2 (MT2) 10mg
Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone acting as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist. It is studied in pigmentation biology, melanocortin receptor pharmacology, and appetite signaling research. Its broad receptor engagement is both the source of its utility and its complexity, serving as the standard pan-agonist comparator against receptor-selective melanocortin compounds.

Research Overview
Melanotan 2 is a cyclic lactam analog of alpha-MSH, structurally constrained to resist enzymatic degradation and substantially extend activity relative to the native hormone. It behaves as a non-selective agonist across the melanocortin receptor family, engaging MC1R — the receptor governing melanogenesis in melanocytes — as well as MC3R and MC4R, which are expressed in hypothalamic circuits associated with energy homeostasis and appetite regulation, and MC5R. This broad receptor engagement is the source of both its research utility and its experimental complexity: effects observed in vivo cannot be attributed to a single receptor without selective antagonists or knockout models. It therefore serves as an important non-selective comparator in melanocortin pharmacology. Laboratory applications include melanocyte culture and melanogenesis assays, receptor selectivity profiling, cAMP signaling studies, and hypothalamic appetite research.
