Melanotan II (MT-II) - 10mg
Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic analog of the natural peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In research settings, it has been studied for its ability to bind and activate melanocortin receptors, influencing pathways related to pigmentation, appetite regulation, energy balance, and other physiological processes mediated by the melanocortin system.

Scientific Background
Melanotan II is a cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-MSH, developed to enhance stability and receptor affinity for melanocortin receptors (MC1–MC5). These receptors are involved in melanin production, appetite regulation, energy expenditure, and various neuroendocrine functions. Research has explored MT-II for its potential influence on pigmentation and photoprotective responses, as well as its signaling role in metabolic and behavioral pathways.
Applications in Research
- Melanocortin receptor signaling studies (MC1R–MC5R)
- Skin pigmentation and melanin biosynthesis pathways
- Appetite regulation and energy metabolism models
- Photoprotection and oxidative stress research
