Description
Research Use Only. This material is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research by qualified professionals. It is not a medicine, supplement, cosmetic ingredient or veterinary product, and it is not for human or animal consumption. The research summary below describes published scientific literature; it is not a claim of effect, benefit or suitability for any person.
Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a cyclic heptapeptide designed as an analogue of human α-MSH, first made at the University of Arizona in the 1980s. It acts as a non-selective agonist at melanocortin receptors and shows its main binding at MC-1R and MC-4R, receptors studied in published research on melanogenesis, feeding-related signalling and energy homeostasis. Supplied as lyophilised material for in-vitro laboratory research.
Research context
The published record on Melanotan 2 sits across several lines of work, including melanocortin receptor studies, neurodevelopmental model systems, body-composition and appetite-signalling models, insulin-signalling research, reward-pathway models, and reproductive-signalling research.
