Melanotan lI

Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is a cyclic heptapeptide that binds to melanocortin receptors MC1R through MC5R. Research has examined its binding profile across the melanocortin receptor subtypes and its role as a reference compound in receptor-signalling studies. Its cyclic structure gives it better stability than linear α-MSH, making it one of the most widely used compounds in melanocortin receptor research.
