MT-2 OVERVIEW Category: Synthetic Cyclic Heptapeptide, Non-Selective Melanocortin Agonist How It Works: Melanotan II (MT-II) works by activating various melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R) throughout the body, including the central nervous system
A non-peptide structure reduces enzymatic degradation concerns and simplifies stability considerations in research workflows
The best approach is to contact your PlexusDx care team before you miss or reschedule a dose
Melanotan II, also known as Melanotan 2, is commonly abbreviated as MT-ll or MT2
Mechanism of Action: Selective muscarinic agonist, resistant to hydrolysis by different cholinesterase isoenzymes The same backbone structure as acetylcholine, but with a methyl side group (Figure 1), which is responsible for its selectivity for muscarinic vs nicotinic receptors (Vardanyan & Hruby, 2006)
