Melanotan II (MT-II): Melanocortin Analogue
Pigmentation, Libido & Energy Balance Research
Product Description
Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone ($\alpha$-MSH) that acts as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist.
-
It is widely used in research to study melanogenesis, sexual behavior, appetite regulation, and energy homeostasis.
-
Researchers investigate Melanotan II for its:
-
MC1R-mediated pigmentation effects.
-
MC3R/MC4R roles in sexual and appetite behaviors.
-
Potential neuroendocrine effects.
-
-
Its broader receptor activity compared to Melanotan I allows for the exploration of multiple melanocortin pathways.

Why Researchers Choose Melanotan II
-
Non-Selective MC Agonist: Activates MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R, making it suitable for multi-pathway research.
-
Potent Pigmentation Agent: Induces melanin production more strongly than Melanotan I.
-
Behavioral Research: Used to study libido, sexual arousal, and energy balance in preclinical models.
-
Extended Half-Life: It is more metabolically stable than the endogenous α-MSH.
