Melanotan II

10 mg

Non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist.

Overview

Melanotan II is a cyclic heptapeptide studied as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R).

Mechanism of Action

Engages multiple MCR subtypes, influencing pigmentation (MC1R), energy homeostasis (MC4R), and sexual response pathways (MC4R).
