Melanotan-2 10mg

Description

Melanotan-2 (MT-II) is a cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-MSH that demonstrates agonist activity at MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R within the melanocortin receptor family. This multi-receptor profile distinguishes it pharmacologically from MT-1 and makes it a widely used tool compound in preclinical research examining the central and peripheral roles of the melanocortin system. Published studies have utilized MT-II in models of pigmentation biology, energy balance, hypothalamic appetite suppression pathways, and erectile/sexual function via MC4R-mediated central pathways.
