A cyclic melanocortin analog for pigmentation research.
Melanotan II (MT2) is a synthetic cyclic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), first synthesized at the University of Arizona during research into photoprotective compounds. Its cyclic lactam structure confers greater potency and stability than the linear native hormone.
As a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist, MT2 is studied for its interaction with the MC1R receptor governing melanogenesis, as well as MC3R and MC4R pathways associated with broader physiological signaling in preclinical literature.
CellTheory supplies MT2 as a lyophilized research peptide with HPLC-verified purity, mass-spectrometry identity confirmation, and a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis.
