Melanotan-I – 5mg
$30.00
Melanotan-1 (also known as Afamelanotide or MT-1) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), researched for its ability to stimulate melanogenesis, promote eumelanin production, enhance photoprotection, and investigate melanocortin receptor pathways in models of pigmentation, UV damage, skin conditions, and related endocrine signaling.

Melanotan-1 is a linear 13-amino-acid peptide analog of α-MSH, featuring key substitutions (Nle at position 4 and D-Phe at position 7) that enhance stability, receptor affinity (particularly MC1R), and duration of action compared to the endogenous hormone. In research settings, it activates melanocortin-1 receptors on melanocytes to induce cAMP signaling, leading to increased eumelanin synthesis, skin pigmentation, and potential photoprotective effects against UV-induced damage. Unlike Melanotan-2, Melanotan-1 shows greater selectivity for MC1R with minimal off-target effects on other melanocortin receptors, making it a preferred tool for studying pigmentation pathways, melanocyte biology, anti-inflammatory responses in skin models, and conditions involving photosensitivity or melanin dysregulation.
Melanotan-1 is provided strictly for laboratory and research purposes only.
Melanotan-1 is a synthetic melanocortin peptide supplied in a 5mg vial as a lyophilized powder. It is provided exclusively for laboratory-based, in vitro research applications. Melanotan-1 has been studied in experimental models for its potential role in melanogenesis, photoprotection, and melanocortin receptor pathways under controlled research conditions.
