Frequently Asked Questions

What is Melanotan II used for in research?

Melanotan II (MT-II) is a cyclic lactam analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) that acts as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R). Research has examined MT-II in melanocyte pigmentation models, MC receptor pharmacology studies, and neuroendocrine pathway research. It is available from AQRO Research for laboratory research use only.
