Product Information
Melanotan I – Research Grade Peptide
Lyophilised Powder | ≥99% Purity
Melanotan I, also known as afamelanotide, is a synthetically manufactured research peptide supplied as a high-purity lyophilised powder. It is characterised as a melanocortin receptor agonist peptide analogue and is supplied strictly for laboratory and analytical research applications.
Research Context
Melanotan I is currently studied in laboratory environments for its interaction with melanocortin signalling pathways involved in pigmentation biology. It is characterised as a synthetic α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) analogue, demonstrating activity at melanocortin receptors, particularly:
• Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R)
• Additional melanocortin receptor subtypes in research models (e.g., MC3R/MC4R)
In experimental models, compounds within this receptor class are investigated for their potential roles in melanogenesis signalling, eumelanin production pathways, and UV-response photobiology under controlled research conditions.
Research interest in this class of peptides primarily focuses on understanding:
• MC1R receptor activation and downstream cAMP signalling pathways
• Melanocyte biology, pigment synthesis, and melanosome dynamics
• Photobiology models involving UV-response and oxidative stress pathways
• Melanocortin peptide pharmacology and analogue stability profiling
Any reference to receptor activity or biological mechanisms is provided strictly for scientific context within research settings.
