MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetic research peptide most commonly studied for its effects on skin pigmentation and appetite regulation.
It activates melanocortin receptors, which can increase melanin production—often associated with darker skin tone in research models. Basically makes you tan with less sunlight.
MT-2 is also explored for its strong appetite-suppressing effects, making it of interest in metabolic and weight-regulation studies.
Additional research investigates its influence on energy balance, libido signaling, and overall melanocortin pathway activity.
Because it interacts with multiple receptor pathways, MT-2 is considered a potent and fast-acting compound in laboratory settings.
