Melanotan 2 (MT2) is a synthetic analog of the endogenous peptide α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R, which plays a central role in melanogenesis. Research has investigated MT2 for its ability to stimulate melanin production, supporting pigmentation studies aimed at photoprotection and UV-related skin responses. Additional studies have explored its effects on appetite, libido, and energy homeostasis due to its broader activity on the melanocortin receptor system.
