MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetic analogue of α-MSH. It is studied for its agonism at melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R), effects on pigmentation1, sexual function2, and energy homeostasis in research models3. It is widely used to investigate melanocortin pathway biology.
Mechanism of Action
Non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors; activates MC1R for pigmentation, MC3R/MC4R for energy balance and sexual function research.
