Melanotan II Research

Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied for its non-selective activity across the melanocortin receptor family, including MC1R and MC4R. It sits outside the metabolic incretin group and probes an entirely different receptor system.
