Melanotan I (Afamelanotide)

For Research Use Only. Not for Human or Veterinary Consumption.

Melanotan I is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied in laboratory settings for its effects on melanocortin receptor activity, particularly MC1R. Researchers use Melanotan I to investigate signaling pathways involved in pigmentation, UV-response mechanisms, and photoprotective cellular processes. This peptide supports advanced research into melanocortin biology and receptor-mediated responses.

This compound is intended strictly for qualified laboratory research. It is not approved for therapeutic, diagnostic, or human use.

Mechanism of Action

• • MC1R Activation: Studied for its ability to stimulate eumelanin production via melanocyte melanocortin-1 receptor signaling in experimental models.

  • Photobiological Response: Investigated for its role in enhancing melanin’s absorption and dispersion of UV radiation, supporting photoprotection studies.

  • Inflammation Modulation: Melanocortin peptides are explored for their influence on inflammatory pathways and potential skin response mechanisms in lab research.
