Melanotan 1

Melanotan I – Melanocortin Research Peptide

Melanotan I (also known as Afamelanotide) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is studied in laboratory settings for its interaction with melanocortin receptors, particularly those involved in pigmentation signaling and melanogenesis pathways.

In preclinical and clinical research, Melanotan I has been investigated for its ability to activate melanocortin-1 (MC1) receptors, which play a key role in the regulation of melanin production and skin pigmentation. Researchers continue to explore its broader involvement in cellular signaling, photobiology, and neuroendocrine research models.

Due to its receptor selectivity, Melanotan I is commonly studied in research involving:
