About this compound
Melanotan-2 is a cyclic lactam analog of α-MSH with high affinity for MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R. Receptor binding activates adenylyl cyclase and elevates intracellular cAMP. In melanocyte models, MC1R activation drives eumelanin synthesis via MITF upregulation. Melanocortin receptor subtype pharmacology, cAMP second messenger assays, pigmentation pathway research, appetite and energy regulation studies via MC4R, and receptor selectivity comparisons against PT-141.
