Description
Melanotan 2 | Non-Selective Melanocortin Receptor Agonist – Research Peptide
Melanotan 2 is a synthetic cyclic lactam analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, shortened to seven amino acids and conformationally constrained by a lactam bridge that increases stability and receptor potency relative to the native peptide.
Laboratory research has characterized its non-selective agonism across the MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R subtypes, and uses it as a reference ligand in melanocortin receptor selectivity and signaling assays.
Common research applications: melanocortin receptor selectivity studies, cyclic peptide structure-activity research, and cyclic AMP signaling assays.
