What is Melanotan II (10mg)?
Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic peptide modeled on the natural hormone α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). By acting as a non-selective agonist at melanocortin receptors MC₁R, MC₃R, MC₄R, and MC₅R, MT-II mimics the biological activity of α-MSH. Its receptor interactions make it a widely studied compound in the fields of pigmentation research, metabolic regulation, neuroendocrine activity, and cellular signaling pathways.
Chemical Structure of MT-II
- Type: Synthetic heptapeptide analogue
- Sequence: Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH₂
- Stability: Features a lactam bridge between Asp and Lys, producing a cyclic structure that enhances binding affinity and resistance to enzymatic degradation
- Molecular formula: C₅₀H₆₉N₁₅O₉
- Molecular weight: ~1,024.2 Da
- Registry: Listed in PubChem under CID 92432
The cyclic backbone provides greater structural integrity compared to linear peptides, extending activity and improving receptor selectivity in research models.
Research Applications of MT-II
-
Pigmentation Dynamics
MT-II activates MC₁R receptors, stimulating eumelanin production and influencing pigmentation responses in experimental settings. -
Metabolism & Appetite Studies
Interaction with MC₃R and MC₄R has made MT-II a target for studies involving energy homeostasis, satiety, and nutrient balance. -
Cellular and Tumor Biology
Laboratory models indicate that MT-II may influence cell signaling pathways such as PTEN and NF-κB, with effects on melanoma cell behavior. -
Neuroendocrine & Behavioral Pathways
Through MC₄R activity, MT-II has been investigated for its role in neuroendocrine function and behavioral modulation, making it of interest in neuroscience research.
