Description
Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that activates multiple melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R and MC4R. It promotes melanin production to enhance skin pigmentation and has also been studied for its effects on sexual arousal through central melanocortin pathways. Research has explored its potential applications in UV protection, pigmentation disorders, and sexual dysfunction models.
