Third-party testedSynthetic Peptide Analogue
Melanotan II (MT-2)
Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In laboratory settings, it is utilized to study melanogenesis, energy homeostasis, and central nervous system pathways through its non-selective agonism of melanocortin receptors.
About the compound
What Melanotan II (MT-2) is.
Melanotan II binds melanocortin receptors, the cell receptors involved in producing pigment. Research has investigated it for effects on melanin production and, separately, on sexual-arousal pathways in animal models.

Research
What Melanotan II (MT-2) has been studied for.
A plain-language summary of the published work. Almost all of it is in cells and animals — where a study was done in people, it says so.
01
Melanocortin receptors
MT-2 is a lab-made analogue of alpha-MSH that acts on several melanocortin receptors at once, rather than selectively on one.
02
Pigment research
Animal studies have looked at its effect on melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin colour.
03
Appetite and energy signalling
Because the melanocortin system is also involved in feeding behaviour, some rodent research has measured food intake alongside the pigment endpoints.
