Product Overview
Melanotan-1 is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), originally developed for its potent agonist activity at melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R. It is widely studied for its roles in promoting melanogenesis, providing photoprotective effects, and modulating anti-inflammatory and immune-regulating pathways in vitro and in vivo models.
Unlike Melanotan-2, Melanotan-1 exhibits greater receptor selectivity and lower affinity for MC4R, making it a useful tool in comparative studies of melanin synthesis, DNA repair, and UV protection mechanisms in dermatological and pigment cell research.
Manufactured in the USA by BlueBiotech®, this compound is provided as 10mg high-purity lyophilized powder, suitable for non-clinical, investigational use only.
