What is Melanotan 2 (MT2)?

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic analog of α-MSH designed to stimulate melanocortin receptors (MC1R – MC4R).
In research settings, MT2 demonstrates melanogenesis stimulation, appetite regulation, and sexual function modulation.

Its enhanced stability and receptor activity make it a popular model peptide for exploring melanocortin signaling, UV protection mechanisms, and energy homeostasis.

Key Features

• 💎 ≥ 98% Purity – HPLC & MS verified

• 🧬 Stable cyclic analog with extended activity

• 🌞 Used in melanin synthesis and photoprotection research

• ⚗️ High receptor selectivity (MC1R–MC4R)

• 🧊 Supplied as lyophilized powder for long shelf life

Mechanism of Action

MT2 binds primarily to melanocortin receptors MC1R–MC4R, activating the cAMP pathway, which upregulates tyrosinase and melanin synthesis in melanocytes.
Research also links MT2 to hypothalamic signaling, influencing energy expenditure and sexual arousal mechanisms through MC3R and MC4R activation.
