MELANOTAN-1
Melanotan-1 (Afamelanotide) is a synthetic 13-amino acid cyclic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), modified to enhance stability and receptor binding affinity at the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R). Supplied as a lyophilized powder in a 3mL vial, it is intended exclusively for in vitro laboratory research by qualified scientific personnel.
This peptide has been utilized in preclinical studies examining MC1R receptor binding kinetics, melanogenesis signaling pathways, eumelanin production mechanisms in melanocyte cell models, and photoprotective cellular response dynamics — independent of the broader pigmentation effects associated with endogenous α-MSH activity.
