Cyclic heptapeptide alpha-MSH analog for MC1R/MC3R/MC4R melanocortin receptor research. Non-selective melanocortin agonist for pigmentation, energy balance, and reproductive pathway studies.
Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-MSH, engineered with a lactam bridge between Asp4 and Lys10 to confer conformational stability and resistance to proteolysis. MT-2 acts as a non-selective agonist at melanocortin receptors MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R with varying affinities. Its broad receptor profile makes it a versatile pharmacological tool for studying melanocortin system biology across pigmentation, energy homeostasis, and neuroendocrine research.
