Melanotan I overview

Melanotan I (afamelanotide-related sequence class) is used to investigate MC1R and related melanocortin pathways, melanocortin receptor pharmacology and photobiology models. Strictly for laboratory research.

Background

Developed from α-MSH structure–activity work aiming for improved receptor potency and stability.

Research focus areas

Investigators commonly examine Melanotan I across the following experimental themes:

MC1R signalingMelanogenesis pathway assays
PhotobiologyUV-response experimental models
Melanocortin SARAnalog comparison studies
Receptor pharmacologyBinding and cAMP readouts

Storage (laboratory handling)

Store lyophilized research material frozen, dry, and protected from light unless the lot COA specifies otherwise. Any reconstitution or experimental protocol must follow your institution’s laboratory SOPs for research chemicals. AminosPure does not provide instructions for human or animal administration and does not sell products for those uses.
