Melanotan I: A Selective Melanocortin Peptide in Research
A more selective melanocortin peptide of interest in pigmentation research.
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a synthetic melanocortin peptide studied for its more selective activity within the melanocortin system compared with Melanotan II.
What it is
Melanotan I is a synthetic analog of α-MSH studied as a melanocortin-1-receptor-focused agonist, of interest in pigmentation and photoprotection research.
Why it’s studied
Its comparatively selective receptor profile makes Melanotan I a useful tool compound for researchers investigating melanocortin pathways.
