Melanotan 1
Melanotan I is a synthetic analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) developed for preclinical study of melanogenesis and photoprotection. As a melanocortin receptor agonist with primary affinity for MC1R, it stimulates eumelanin production, positioning it as a reference compound for pigmentation and UV-response signalling research. Lyophilised powder, 10mg vial, ≥99% purity by HPLC, Certificate of Analysis on request. Dispatched from the UK, for research use only.
