MT2, or melanotan II, is a cyclic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It activates several melanocortin receptors involved in pigmentation, appetite, autonomic function, and sexual arousal.

Scientific product profiles
Mechanism of action
Activation of MC1R on melanocytes increases eumelanin production. Activity at central MC3R and MC4R can affect appetite and arousal, while broader melanocortin activity accounts for a wider and less selective physiological profile.
Potential benefits
May increase melanin production and skin pigmentation
May influence appetite signaling
May increase central sexual-arousal signaling
May enhance the skin's pigment-based response to ultraviolet exposure
Evidence context: Because MT2 is not receptor selective, the same broad activity linked to potential benefits can also produce unwanted systemic effects.
Product data and verification
DEU Peptides connects the MT2 catalog entry with identity, purity, storage, and batch data. A registered QR code can confirm the product name, concentration, batch ID, vial ID, and date fields.

What potential benefits are associated with MT2?
May increase melanin production and skin pigmentation; May influence appetite signaling; May increase central sexual-arousal signaling; May enhance the skin's pigment-based response to ultraviolet exposure.
How strong is the evidence for MT2?
Because MT2 is not receptor selective, the same broad activity linked to potential benefits can also produce unwanted systemic effects.
