MT2 10mg
Melanocyte stimulation & tanning peptide
MT2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts on melanocortin receptors to stimulate melanogenesis, producing a natural-looking tan without UV exposure. Also studied for its effects on libido via MC4R activation.
- ✓Stimulates melanin production for tanning
- ✓Acts on MC1R, MC3R & MC4R receptors
- ✓Produces tan without UV exposure
- ✓Studied for libido & appetite modulation
- ✓≥99% purity — HPLC verified
Mechanism of Action
Melanotan II is a cyclic heptapeptide analogue of α-MSH that non-selectively activates melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R). Activation of MC1R drives eumelanin synthesis in melanocytes, while MC4R activation influences appetite and sexual arousal pathways. Research investigates its role in pigmentation biology and energy homeostasis.
