Product Summary

Melanotan 2 (MT2) is a synthetic analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) developed for research into skin pigmentation and photoprotection. Melanotan 2 has been shown to stimulate melanogenesis by binding to melanocortin receptors, thereby increasing melanin production in melanocytes. It is widely used in research focusing on pigmentation disorders, anti-aging, and the development of novel cosmetic ingredients.

Potential Research Applications

1. Melanogenesis Studies

• Melanotan 2 is used in research to stimulate melanin production in melanocyte cultures. It provides insights into the regulation of skin pigmentation and can serve as a model for studying treatments for hypo- or hyperpigmentation disorders.

2. Photoprotection Research

• Preclinical studies have explored the potential of Melanotan 2 to enhance the skin’s natural defenses against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, making it a valuable tool for investigating photoprotective mechanisms and anti-aging strategies.

3. Cosmetic and Dermatological Research

• Researchers employ Melanotan 2 to evaluate its effects on skin health, including collagen production and cellular regeneration, which are critical factors in developing advanced cosmetic formulations.

4. Signal Transduction Analysis

• By studying its interaction with melanocortin receptors, scientists can elucidate the intracellular signaling pathways involved in melanogenesis and cellular protection, contributing to a broader understanding of endocrine and metabolic regulation.
