Product Overview

Melanotan 2 is a cyclic α-MSH analog and non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist. Studied for MC1R-mediated melanogenesis, photoprotection, and MC3R/MC4R signaling in energy and sexual function research.

Research Applications

  • Cyclic α-MSH analog with enhanced metabolic stability
  • Non-selective melanocortin agonist (MC1R-MC5R)
  • MC1R: eumelanin production via cAMP/MITF/tyrosinase cascade
  • MC3R/MC4R: energy homeostasis and autonomic signaling
  • Developed at University of Arizona (Hruby/Hadley)

Key Features

  • ≥99% purity confirmed by RP-HPLC and ESI-MS
  • For laboratory research use only
