How Is MT2 Studied?
Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-MSH that acts across melanocortin receptors, mainly MC1R and MC4R. Studies have examined its activation of Gαs-coupled adenylyl cyclase signaling and cAMP in melanocyte models, making it a research tool for studying melanocortin receptor pathways.
