Melanotan (MT) -II

Melanotan (MT) -II, a synthetic melanocortin receptor agonist, is a synthetic analogue of the peptide hormone α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) . Melanotan (MT) -II is a potent non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist with high affinity for MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC5 receptor subtypes which are involved in the regulation of a number of physiological systems such as the pigmentary system, energy homoeostasis, sexual functioning, the immune system, inflammation, and the cardiovascular system.
