Real Peptides Melanotan 1

Description

Melanotan 1 (afamelanotide) is a synthetic linear analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It has been characterized in preclinical research as a melanocortin-1 receptor agonist, making it a useful tool compound for isolating pigmentation and melanocortin signaling endpoints in experimental designs.

Melanotan 1 has been used in preclinical in vitro and rodent model studies to investigate melanogenesis, melanocortin-1 receptor signaling, photoprotective cellular responses, and oxidative stress pathways in melanocyte cultures. Its receptor selectivity supports mechanistic characterization of pigmentation biology in laboratory research.

Intended use: In vitro and preclinical in vivo laboratory research only. Not approved for human or veterinary use.
