Catalyst Compounds Melanotan 2

Description

Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone that engages melanocortin receptors across multiple subtypes. It is used in research as a broad melanocortin agonist reference compound.

Studies have addressed melanin synthesis, melanocortin signal transduction, and appetite- and energy-related behavioral endpoints in melanocyte cultures and rodent models. Its wide receptor activity supports comparative work across melanocortin pathways.

Intended use: In vitro and preclinical in vivo laboratory research only. Not approved for human or veterinary use.
