Melanotan II (MT-2) 10 mg

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is widely used in laboratory environments to investigate pathways related to melanogenesis, UV-response biology, melanocortin receptor activity, and neurological signaling. Melanotan II primarily interacts with melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R), making it a valuable tool for studies involving skin pigmentation, energy balance, behavioral signaling, appetite regulation, and neuroendocrine function. Its strong receptor affinity and high stability allow for consistent results across controlled research applications.

Key Benefits

(Observed in controlled preclinical and research settings)

  • Melanocortin Receptor Activation: Supports research into pigmentation pathways and melanin production.
  • UV-Response Studies: Useful for modeling protective pigmentation responses and skin photobiology.
  • Appetite and Metabolic Pathways: Enables exploration of melanocortin-driven appetite regulation and energy balance.
  • Neuroendocrine Signaling: Studied for effects on behavioral, autonomic, and neurohormonal pathways.
  • Synergistic Research Models: Often paired with PT-141 or other melanocortin peptides to evaluate combined receptor effects.

Potential Side Effects

(Generally mild and transient in laboratory settings)

  • Temporary nausea or mild stomach discomfort
  • Light flushing or warmth
  • Occasional headache
  • Mild fatigue
  • Rare reports of increased pigmentation in test models

Side effects vary depending on dose, model type, and research methodology.
