Melanotan II: Beyond Tanning – Exploring Its Potential in Mood, Appetite, and Addiction Research

Introduction While widely recognized for its ability to promote skin pigmentation, Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that exerts far-reaching effects beyond tanning. Emerging research reveals that MT-2’s interaction with melanocortin receptors—especially the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R)—plays a critical role in regulating appetite, sexual function, mood,...
