- Studies have posited that Melanotan 1 peptide primarily appears to enhance melanogenesis through association with the melanocortin one receptor (MC1). Similar to MT1, MT2 also appears to have the potential to enhance melanogenesis by stimulating the melanocortin one receptor. However, unlike MT1, MT2 has been reported by researchers to interact with other melanocortin receptors, specifically MC1, MC3, MC4, MC5. Stimulation of other MC receptors may lead to outcomes such as penile erection, sexual arousal, and appetite suppression. Studies on animal and rat models have suggested that MT2 is potentially effective in stimulating the MC4 receptor. Reports indicate that MT2 may be 10-100x more potent than endogenous melanocyte hormones. This resulted in appetite suppression and weight loss in the murine models employed in the research.
