Product details
Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), investigated for its potent, broad-spectrum activity across multiple melanocortin receptor subtypes. As a non-selective melanocortin agonist, it serves as a research tool for studying melanogenic signaling, central nervous system melanocortin pathway dynamics, and the downstream physiological cascades regulated by hypothalamic MC receptor activation.
- Receptor Targets: Melanocortin receptors MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R; hypothalamic neuropeptide signaling networks
- Key Feature: Broad-spectrum cyclic melanocortin agonist with both peripheral pigmentation and central neuromodulatory activity
- Research Focus Areas: Melanogenesis regulation, hypothalamic melanocortin signaling, autonomic nervous system modulation, energy homeostasis pathways
- Common Models: Melanocyte pigmentation assays, hypothalamic receptor binding studies, CNS neuromodulation paradigms, metabolic signaling models
- Mechanistic Interests: MC1R-mediated eumelanin synthesis, MC3R/MC4R hypothalamic axis activation, cAMP/PKA intracellular signaling cascade, dopaminergic and oxytocinergic pathway crosstalk
