Description
Melanotan-2 (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) developed for research into melanocortin receptor pharmacology. Melanotan-2 has been studied as a research peptide for its non-selective binding across MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R receptors in cellular and laboratory research models.
The cyclic structure of Melanotan-2 confers significantly extended stability over native α-MSH, making it a useful long-acting tool for melanocortin receptor research.
