Melanotan MT-2 10mg

Description

The Synthetic Melanocortin Agonist

Ignite Labs MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of the naturally occurring -melanocyte-stimulating hormone . In research settings, MT-2 is primarily studied for its potent agonism of melanocortin receptors (MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC5). This broad receptor affinity makes it a critical subject for investigating skin pigmentation, photoprotection, and the physiological regulation of appetite and sexual function.

Primary Research Applications

• Melanogenesis & Pigmentation: Investigating the stimulation of MC1 receptors to promote the production of eumelanin, the pigment responsible for skin darkening and UV protection.

• Photoprotective Mechanisms: Studying the peptide’s potential to reduce DNA damage in skin cells by increasing melanin density without excessive UV exposure.

• Appetite Modulation: Examining the activation of MC4 receptors in the hypothalamus, which are known to influence satiety and energy expenditure.

• Sexual Health Research: Analyzing the activation of the central melanocortin system and its role in modulating erectile function and libido in research models.

• Inflammation & Immunity: Exploring the interaction with MC3 and MC5 receptors to study the potential anti-inflammatory properties of melanocortin signaling.
