Melanotan II

Description

Melanotan II — Melanocortin Receptor Agonist

Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide that acts as a non-selective agonist across the melanocortin receptor family, including MC1R, MC3R and MC4R. It is supplied for in vitro laboratory research only.

Research context

Preclinical literature has examined this compound in receptor-binding and cyclic AMP signalling assays across multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes, using transfected cell lines expressing MC1R, MC3R and MC4R individually. Its broad receptor affinity has made it a reference ligand in comparative pharmacology studies of the melanocortin receptor family. Structure-activity relationship studies have examined modifications to its cyclic peptide backbone in relation to binding affinity across these receptor subtypes.
