Everything we know
about Melanotan 2.
Direct from the research literature. Every section is sourced from peer-reviewed peptide studies and clearly labelled when effects come from animal or cell-line models.
/ 01 · WHAT WE KNOW
The background.
Melanotan 2 is a synthetic analog of α-MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) that binds to melanocortin receptors.
/ 02 · WHAT IT DOES FOR YOU
What researchers study it for.
Researchers use MT2 for tanning (melanogenesis), appetite suppression, and libido support.
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS · published animal & cell-model studies
- ▸UV-protective skin pigmentation research
- ▸Centrally-mediated arousal pathway studies
- ▸Appetite-suppression in MC4R research
Sourced from peer-reviewed research literature. Effects described are from animal & cell-line models unless otherwise noted. For research use only.
/ 03 · HOW IT WORKS
Mechanism of action.
Biological pathways identified in the research literature for Melanotan 2.
Activates MC1R → eumelanogenesis (skin tanning)
Activates MC3R / MC4R → centrally-mediated appetite + libido modulation
Long-lasting receptor binding due to D-Phe and Nle stabilization
