MT2 10 mg (Melanotan 2) | Analogue de l'α-MSH Mélanogenèse

MT2 10 mg (Melanotan 2) is a synthetic cyclic analog of alpha-MSH (melanotropic hormone), a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors. Its cyclic structure gives it greater stability and potency than the natural hormone, making MT2 one of the most studied peptides in research on melanogenesis, photoprotection, and appetite regulation.

Molecular mechanism of action:
MT2 activates several melanocortin receptors:

(1) MC1R receptor agonism: stimulates melanocytes and melanin (eumelanin) synthesis, inducing skin pigmentation.

(2) MC4R receptor agonism: modulates central circuits of appetite and sexual function.

(3) MC3R receptor agonism: involved in energy homeostasis and inflammation.

(4) Photoprotection: the increase in melanin strengthens the body’s natural defenses against UV rays.

(5) Structural stability: cyclization prolongs the half-life compared to endogenous α-MSH.
