Melanotan 2 (MT-II) 10mg

Melanotan II is used in laboratories to learn how skin pigmentation and energy processes work.

It is a synthetic variant of the natural hormone α-MSH which is involved in melanocortin receptors.

Research findings

In in vitro studies, MT-II affects the MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R receptors.

Used to study pigment production, appetite and energy expenditure.

Researchers are also looking at the neurophysiological effects of melanocortin activation.

Studies: Hadley & Dorr, 2006 (Ann. NY Acad. Sci.) and Hruby et al., 1998 (Peptides).
