Melanotan I

Description:
Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied in laboratory research for its interaction with melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R. It is commonly used in experimental models investigating pigmentation pathways, receptor binding affinity, and peptide hormone signaling. Researchers utilize Melanotan I in controlled environments to study melanocortin system activity and related molecular processes. This product is supplied as a lyophilized (powder) material for stability and requires reconstitution prior to laboratory use.
