MELANOTAN II 10mg (MT2)

10mg 1 vial Molecular Formula: C50H69N15O9 What is Melanotan II? MELANOTAN II 10mg is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Acting as an agonist at the melanocortin-3 and 4 receptors (MC3R and MC4R), Melanotan II shares similarities with the prohormone pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) cleavage peptides, including adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) and α-, β-, and γ-MSH. The melanocortin system, encompassing the central nervous system, plays a role in regulating various physiological functions such as cardiovascular function, energy balance, hunger, glucose and lipid homeostasis, sexual function, pituitary gland functions, emotional behavior, cachexia, drug abuse behavior, pain perception, and anxiety behavior. In a laboratory study utilizing an MC4R knockout model in rats, increased food intake, body weight gain, and fat accumulation were observed. Additionally, brain administration of melanotan II did not alter feeding behavior, confirming the loss of MC4R fun
