Melanotan 2

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-MSH that acts as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R). It stimulates melanogenesis while also influencing appetite, arousal, and neuronal function. Research indicates applications in nerve regeneration, sexual arousal, neurodevelopmental disorders, and sunless tanning models.
