Melanotan II, also written as MT-II or Melanotan-2, is a synthetic cyclic peptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, or α-MSH. It is studied for its activity at melanocortin receptors, especially pathways involved in melanogenesis, skin-pigmentation response, appetite signaling, sexual-function research, and broader neuroendocrine signaling.
