Melanotan 2
peptides · Faster-tanning, less selective MSH analogue
Melanotan 2 is a cyclic peptide analogue of alpha-MSH, chemically distinct from and less selective than Melanotan 1 -- it also activates receptors involved in appetite, energy use, and sexual function, producing a faster, deeper tan but a broader range of side effects.
