Description

Melanotan (often referred to as Melanotan II or MT-II) is a research-grade synthetic peptide analogue of the natural hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors, including MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and others, making it a valuable investigative compound in preclinical settings exploring skin pigmentation, melanogenesis, neuroendocrine pathways, appetite control, and energy balance.

Supplied as a 10 mg lyophilized powder, this peptide is widely used in cell culture and in vitro research protocols focusing on melanin synthesis, receptor-mediated signaling, and metabolic regulation. Researchers exploring pigmentation biology, melanocortin receptor pharmacology, or melanogenesis models will find this peptide useful as a probe compound.
