Melanotan 2
Melanotan 2 (CAS 121062-08-6) is a cyclized, lactam-bridged alpha-MSH analog in which an intramolecular Asp5-Lys10 bridge replaces the linear C-terminal sequence, yielding improved resistance to proteolytic degradation. It covers the full melanocortin receptor panel — MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R — with nanomolar affinity at each subtype, making it the principal pan-melanocortin pharmacology tool where broad receptor engagement is the experimental requirement. MC4R-specific research programs use it to interrogate hypothalamic and limbic cAMP signaling architecture in neuronal culture models. Supplied lyophilized for in vitro research use only.
