Description
Melanotan 2 10mg MT-2
10mg | Laboratory Research Grade
Melanotan 2 10mg (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic analogue of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Unlike Melanotan 1, MT-2 features a shorter structure and a broader affinity for melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R). Within experimental protocols, this molecule is studied for its effects on pigmentation, appetite regulation, and sexual response. Explore our full range of Research Peptides.
