Melanotan 2 (10mg)

Description

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide (Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH₂) that functions as a potent nonselective melanocortin receptor agonist. It is employed in receptor binding and signal transduction studies exploring MC1R–MC5R-mediated cAMP activation and GPCR desensitization mechanisms. MT-II provides a research model for peptide–receptor pharmacology and neuroendocrine signaling dynamics. What is Melanotan 2 (MT-2)?Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic version of human alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It was originally developed in the 1980’s, at the University of Arizona, after it was found that α-MSH caused sexual arousal in rodents as well as darkening of the skin. Originally as a sunless tanning option. MT-2 was eventually found to have a wide range of effects such as in:increasing sexual arousalpromoting tanning or skin pigmentationreducing compulsive behaviorcontrolling addictionfighting hungerreducing glucagon productionreversing features of autism Reference Citationshttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30629642https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26312834https://www.researchgate.net/publication/24019710_The_Role_of_Leptin-Melanocortin_System_and_Human_Weight_Regulation_Lessons_from_Experiments_of_Naturehttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12481551https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14764630https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27115412https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19752162https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21167196https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26108334https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9679884https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1749-6632.2003.tb03166.xhttps://www.nature.com/articles/3900371.pdfhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35907397/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33623128/
