Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic lactam heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts as a non-selective agonist at the melanocortin receptor subtypes MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R and is used as a pharmacological tool for studying melanocortin receptor biology and subtype selectivity.

Melanotan II binds MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R, G protein-coupled receptors that signal primarily through Gαs-mediated cAMP elevation. Its non-selectivity makes it a comparative tool for separating subtype-specific receptor pharmacology in cell-based assays, and its cyclic lactam structure gives it greater receptor binding stability than linear α-MSH analogs.
