Melanotan II
Melanotan II is a synthetic alpha-MSH analog and non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist (CAS 121062-08-6) at 99.3% HPLC-verified purity. Studied for UV-independent melanogenesis pathways.
Melanotan II — Research Summary
Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R) and has been studied for its ability to stimulate melanogenesis — the production of the skin pigment melanin — independently of UV radiation exposure. Research has also explored its effects on MC3R and MC4R-mediated pathways related to energy homeostasis and neuroendocrine function. For research use only.
