MELANOTAN 2 Peptide

Melanotan 2 Peptide (MT-2) – Synthetic Melanocortin Research Peptide

Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), widely studied for its interaction with melanocortin receptors involved in pigmentation and biological signaling pathways. Due to its stability and receptor affinity, Melanotan 2 has become a well-known compound in peptide and melanocortin research.

What Is Melanotan 2?

elanotan 2 peptide is a cyclic peptide designed to mimic the activity of naturally occurring melanocortins. It is primarily researched for its role in melanin production pathways and receptor binding behavior within the melanocortin system.
