Melanotan II 10mg
$29.00
For Research Use Only
Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied
for its interaction with melanocortin receptors, which are involved in various physiological
signaling pathways. It has been widely referenced in the scientific literature for its potential
influence on skin pigmentation, neuroendocrine function, and energy homeostasis in
research models.
Structure and Receptor Interaction
• Peptide Class: Cyclic heptapeptide analog
• Primary Receptor Targets: Melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R)
• Notable Focus: High affinity for MC1R (linked to melanogenesis) and MC4R (explored in
sexual and metabolic research)
Mechanisms of Interest (Based on Research Studies)
• MC1R Activation: Promotes melanin production (melanogenesis) in laboratory models
• MC4R Activation: Studied in relation to libido signaling and appetite regulation
• Photoprotective Pathways: Research has explored roles in pigmentation and potential UV-
response modeling
Research Applications
• Pigmentation Pathway Studies
• Energy Balance and Appetite Research
• Sexual Behavior Signaling Models
• Melanocortin Receptor Function Exploration
Notable Observations in Literature
• Increased melanin production in vitro and in vivo models• Interest in non-UV-induced
pigmentation pathways• Studies on hypothalamic MC4R-related signaling in the context of
behavior and metabolism
