Melanotan-1 (also known as afamelanotide or [Nle⁴, D-Phe⁷]-α-MSH) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Melanotan-1 functions as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors, showing high affinity for the MC1 receptor. It has approximately 1,000 times greater potency than natural α-MSH in stimulating melanogenesis.

Melanotan 1 Description

Melanotan-1 (afamelanotide, melanotan-I) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This peptide hormone analog demonstrates activity at melanocortin receptors in laboratory studies.

Research indicates that Melanotan-1 binds to melanocortin-1 receptors (MC1R), stimulating melanogenesis pathways in melanocyte cell cultures. This receptor activation triggers melanin synthesis through the cyclic AMP signaling cascade. Studies show the compound produces melanin without requiring UV exposure in in vitro melanocyte models.

This peptide is provided strictly for in vitro research purposes in qualified laboratory settings. Researchers studying melanocortin biology and pigmentation mechanisms use Melanotan-1 in controlled experimental protocols for investigating cellular signaling pathways.

Melanotan-1 serves research laboratories studying:

Melanocortin receptor signaling pathways
Melanogenesis mechanisms in cell culture systems
Photoprotection pathways in dermal cell models
α-MSH analog interactions with MC1R
Pigmentation biology in controlled laboratory settings
