MT-2 (Melanotan 2)
MT-2 (Melanotan 2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Preclinical research explores its potent effects on melanogenesis (with tanning observed with or without UV exposure) and central melanocortin pathways.
Key Research Areas
- • Studied for potent stimulation of melanogenesis with tanning effects observed with or without UV/sun exposure.
- • Investigated for enhancement of libido and sexual arousal through central MC3/MC4 receptor pathways.
- • Explored for appetite-suppressing effects and potential roles in energy balance research.
