Melanotan II is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In a laboratory context, it functions as a non-selective agonist with high affinity for melanocortin receptors (specifically MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R). Its application is confined to in vitro research to investigate receptor binding kinetics and signal transduction pathways.
