Melanotan 2 10mg (MT2) is a cyclic alpha-MSH analogue from Peptide Sciences, studied for its broad activity across melanocortin receptors.
Melanotan 2 Research Overview
Melanotan II is a cyclic lactam peptide that activates MC1, MC3, MC4 and MC5 receptors. This broad profile means research covers pigmentation, appetite and energy balance, and central behavioural effects. Its metabolite PT-141 was later developed to focus on central MC4 activity.
