Melanotan 2 (MT2)

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is studied as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist, meaning it binds broadly across multiple receptor subtypes (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R) rather than targeting a single one, making it a useful tool compound for comparative melanocortin receptor research.

In laboratory settings, Melanotan 2 is commonly used to study melanocortin receptor pharmacology, receptor binding kinetics, and downstream cAMP signaling across the different receptor subtypes, which are expressed in distinct tissues and regulate different physiological systems.
