Research Description
Melanotan-2 is a cyclic heptapeptide analogue of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Its cyclic structure, formed by a lactam bridge, provides increased stability and potency compared to linear analogues.
In laboratory research, MT2 is investigated for its non-selective agonism of melanocortin receptors (MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC5). Beyond melanogenesis, studies frequently explore its influence on central nervous system pathways, including those regulating energy homeostasis and sexual behavior.
