Research overview

Melanotan II Pen

A cyclic peptide used in research on melanocortin receptor signalling.

What is it?

Melanotan II, also written MT-II or MT2, is a melanocortin receptor agonist.

What does the research explore?

Structure and receptor studies use melanotan II as a starting point to investigate how changes to peptide shape affect activity and selectivity at melanocortin receptors.

How to interpret the evidence

Receptor activity does not show that a supplier product is safe for tanning or other human uses. No such use is recommended here.

Study findings apply to the material and experimental conditions used by the researchers. They do not show that a PepVision product produces the same effects, or establish a personal-use dose.
