What Is Melanotan 2?
Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte–stimulating hormone (α-MSH).
Researchers study MT-2 for its interactions with melanocortin receptors, biochemical signaling related to pigmentation, and various pathways connected to the melanocortin system.
GENIQ provides Melanotan 2 exclusively for laboratory research—not for human or animal use.
Peptide Overview
Melanotan 2 is a cyclic heptapeptide analog designed to improve stability and receptor affinity in experimental settings compared to the native α-MSH molecule.
Research commonly explores how MT-2 may promote changes in:
| • Melanocortin receptor activation (including MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R) |
| • Pigmentation and melanocyte signaling models |
| • UV-response biochemical pathways |
| • Inflammatory and immune-related signaling cascades |
| • Neural and hormonal pathway interactions |
| • Studies involving cyclic peptide receptor-binding mechanisms |
| These findings are strictly limited to controlled in-vitro and non-clinical research environments. |
All findings remain limited to preclinical and in-vitro experimental environments.
History of Melanotan 2
Melanotan 2 was originally developed during research into synthetic melanocortin analogs.
Scientists sought molecules that could mimic α-MSH activity while offering greater stability and enhanced receptor-binding characteristics.
The result was a cyclic, shorter peptide sequence that maintained strong melanocortin activity, making it suitable for use in laboratory models.
Over the years, Melanotan 2 has been utilized in research examining:
| • Pigmentation and melanocyte biology |
| • MC4R-related central signaling pathways |
| • Anti-inflammatory behavior of melanocortin analogs |
| • UV-protective biochemical responses |
| • Hormonal and neuropeptide interactions |
| It remains one of the most widely studied melanocortin analogs in modern peptide research. |
