Melanotan 2

Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring melanocortin peptide α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone). It activates the MC1R receptor on melanocytes, stimulating melanin production and resulting in a deepened skin pigmentation that provides photoprotective benefits. Additionally, Melanotan II has been shown to act on the MC4R receptor, influencing libido, energy regulation, and appetite control. Research continues to explore its applications in skin protection, sexual dysfunction, and energy metabolism through its systemic melanocortin receptor activity.
