Melanotan II
Melanotan II (MT-II)
Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Studied for its agonist activity at melanocortin receptors, with research applications in pigmentation biology and CNS pathway studies.
Research Overview
Melanotan II (MT-II) is a cyclic synthetic analog of the endogenous peptide alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It was developed as a more potent and metabolically stable analog of α-MSH, with non-selective agonist activity at melanocortin receptors MC1R through MC5R. Research applications include melanocortin receptor pharmacology, pigmentation biology (MC1R-mediated melanogenesis), central nervous system pathway studies involving MC3R and MC4R, and investigations into the melanocortin system's role in energy homeostasis. MT-II is a widely used research tool for studying the melanocortin axis.
