Melanotan-1 10 mg
$27.95
Melanotan 1, also known as Afamelanotide, is a synthetic peptide analog of the endogenous alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is a linear peptide composed of 13 amino acids, designed for enhanced stability and greater affinity for the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). In laboratory research settings, Melanotan 1 is a primary compound for investigating the mechanisms of melanogenesis—the process of melanin pigment production in skin and hair.
Scientific literature explores the selective action of Melanotan 1 on the MC1R, which initiates a signaling cascade resulting in the synthesis of eumelanin. This makes it a valuable tool in studies related to photoprotection, DNA repair mechanisms following UV-induced damage, and the regulation of skin pigmentation. Unlike broader melanocortin agonists, Melanotan 1 demonstrates high specificity, which is crucial for focused research on pigmentation pathways without significantly impacting other physiological systems controlled by different melanocortin receptors.
