Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic peptide analog of the naturally occurring α-melanocyte stimulating hormone. Originally developed in the 1990s at the University of Arizona, this cyclic heptapeptide has become one of the most studied melanocortin agonists. Research studies have demonstrated MT-2’s ability to stimulate melanin production without UV exposure, influence appetite and energy metabolism, and modulate sexual arousal pathways through its action on multiple melanocortin receptors. Clinical investigations have also explored its effects on addictive behaviors and reward pathways, making it a valuable research tool for understanding complex physiological systems.
