Melanotan II 10mg

MT2 (Melanotan II) – 10mg

Product Overview Melanotan II (MT2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH). Developed as a more stable and potent version of its linear predecessor, MT2 is a non-selective agonist of the melanocortin receptors MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC5. Due to its lactam-bridge structure, MT2 exhibits enhanced resistance to enzymatic degradation and superior blood-brain barrier permeability compared to endogenous MSH, making it a primary tool for studying the systemic and central nervous system effects of melanocortin activation.
