Melanotan 2

Melanotan 2, 10mg

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic melanocortin receptor agonist designed for research into controlled modulation of skin pigmentation, energy balance, and neuroendocrine signaling, providing investigators with a versatile tool to probe the physiology of the α‑MSH pathway and its downstream effects on melanogenesis and appetite-regulating circuits. Acting primarily at MC1R to upregulate eumelanin synthesis, Melanotan 2 enables the study of UV-protective tanning responses and photobiology, while its interaction with central MC3R/MC4R populations allows exploration of appetite suppression, body‑weight regulation, and sexual behavior modulation in preclinical and translational models. Strictly intended for laboratory research, this potent cyclic heptapeptide offers high receptor affinity, enhanced metabolic stability, and predictable dose–response characteristics, making it well suited for mechanistic work in dermatology, metabolism, and behavioral neuroendocrinology.
