Melanotan-2 (MT-2) — Melanogenesis & Sexual Function Research
Melanotan-2 is a cyclic 7-amino-acid analogue of the endogenous peptide α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone). It acts as a non-selective agonist at melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R), producing powerful effects on skin pigmentation, sexual function, and appetite regulation. Research on MT-2 spans two decades across dermatology, sexual medicine, and metabolic research fields.

Reconstitution: Add 0.6% Acetic Acid first to dissolve the powder, then dilute with Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) or Sterile Water for your working solution. Store lyophilized vials at 2–8°C.
Key Research Areas
☀️ Melanogenesis & UV Protection
MT-2 activates MC1R on melanocytes, stimulating eumelanin production and resulting in skin darkening without UV exposure. Research models show increased photoprotection, reduced UV-induced DNA damage markers, and a shift from pheomelanin (damage-prone) to eumelanin (protective) synthesis.
🔥 Sexual Function Research
MC4R activation in the hypothalamus drives MT-2’s pro-erectile and libido-enhancing effects — among the most studied in the peptide field. Spontaneous erections and increased sexual motivation are documented in animal models, making MT-2 a key reference compound in sexual medicine research.
⚖️ Appetite & Weight Research
Melanocortin system activation suppresses appetite via hypothalamic pathways. Research models show reduced food intake and body weight gain with MT-2 administration — an area of overlap with obesity research.
🔬 Melanoma Research Reference
MT-2’s potent and consistent melanogenic response makes it a valuable reference compound in melanoma biology, pigmentation disorder research, and photobiology studies.
