Melanotan 2
Melanocortin Research Peptide
Size: 10mg

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic melanocortin-receptor agonist studied for melanogenesis (pigmentation) and melanocortin-pathway signaling in research.
Melanotan 2 (MT-II)
Cyclic synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH)
Studied in melanocortin-receptor and pigmentation research
Investigated as a non-selective melanocortin-receptor agonist
Referenced in melanogenesis research models
Cyclic lactam structure increases stability versus the linear MT-1
