Melanotan II
10mg
Research on skin pigmentation, energy balance, and cellular response to ultraviolet exposure.
Melanotan II
A synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), developed to study how activation of the melanocortin system influences pigmentation, metabolism, and cellular protection. Melanotan II mimics the structure of α-MSH and interacts with several melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R) involved in pigmentation, appetite, energy balance, and sexual function.
