Melanotan 2

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide (Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH₂) that acts as a potent, nonselective agonist of melanocortin receptors. It is widely utilized in laboratory research focused on receptor binding affinity, intracellular signal transduction, and melanocortin receptor-mediated cAMP activation across MC1R through MC5R. MT-II is commonly applied as a research model for studying GPCR signaling behavior, receptor desensitization processes, and neuroendocrine peptide-receptor interactions.
