Melanotan 2 is similar to a substance in human’s bodies, called “melanocyte-stimulating hormone”. The major component is a melanocortin synthetic analog. Melanotan-2 is given to increase the production of skin darkening pigments and prevent skin cancers caused by sun exposure. It can very effectively promote the burning process of the body’s fat deposits. Melanotan-Il might also work in the brain to stimulate erections in men with erectile dysfunction. Be careful not to confuse Melanotan-2 with melatonin.

Description

PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASS

Melanotan 2 is in the class of alpha melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) mimetics. Alpha-MSH is produced in the pituitary, and activates alpha- melanocyte receptors. MT-II works in the same way. There are a number of subtypes of alpha-melanocyte receptors (MC1-5.) Melanotan Il is generally non-selective and activates multiple types. Activation of the MC1 receptor promotes skin pigmentation, while activation of the MC4 receptor can enhance tendency to penile erection. PT-141 is selective in comparison with the MC4 receptor and therefore promotes penile erection while having little or no effect on skin
pigmentation.
