Research Overview
A cyclic alpha-MSH analogue that engages several melanocortin receptors.
Melanotan II is a lab-made, ring-shaped version of alpha-MSH. Unlike MT-1, it acts across several melanocortin receptors rather than just one — which is why its structure and receptor profile show up so often in the literature.
