Description
Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied in research contexts. It functions by binding to several melanocortin receptors, including MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R. Through MC1R activation in melanocytes, it stimulates melanin production. The compound's interaction with MC3R and MC4R receptors has been associated with effects on appetite regulation and metabolic processes in research settings. Studies have also indicated that it may influence other physiological pathways through its binding to multiple receptor subtypes. The cyclic structure of Melanotan II gives it different binding characteristics compared to linear peptides, potentially affecting its interaction with receptor targets.
