Melanotan 2
Melanocortin Research Peptide (MT-2)
$39.99
Overview
Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic peptide based on alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). Its constrained structure was developed for laboratory studies of melanocortin-receptor binding, stability, and signaling.
Melanotan 2 is an investigational research material and is not approved by the FDA for medical or cosmetic use. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary consumption. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Research Details
In laboratory studies, Melanotan 2 acts as a nonselective agonist at MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R. These G-protein-coupled receptors are involved in different biological pathways. The compound has been studied in receptor-selectivity assays, cyclic AMP signaling, melanocyte biology, and ligand comparisons.
Its structure is commonly represented as Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2. Research has examined this cyclic structure through melanocortin-receptor binding and functional assays.
Research areas include:
- MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R activation assays
- Melanocortin ligand-binding studies
- GPCR and cyclic AMP signaling research
- Melanocyte and melanogenesis pathway research
- Structure-activity relationship analysis
- Comparative cyclic-peptide characterization
