Description

Melanotan II
Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic lactam analog of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In laboratory settings, this peptide is utilized to study the activation of melanocortin receptors (primarily MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R). It is a key subject in photobiology research for its role in stimulating melanogenesis—the biological production of pigment—and is further investigated for its influence on systemic lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis.
