Melanotan 2 is a cyclic alpha-MSH analog research peptide with broad melanocortin receptor activity, studied in pigmentation, appetite, and MC3R/MC4R signaling research.
Melanotan 2 is a cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-MSH whose ring structure confers potency and stability. Unlike its linear counterpart it engages multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes — including MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R — making it a versatile probe for laboratories mapping receptor-specific effects across pigmentation and central melanocortin signaling models.
