Melanostatin DM 200mg Topical Overview
Melanostatin DM 200mg Topical from Peptide Science is the synthetic 9-amino-acid nonapeptide designed as a competitive antagonist of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) receptor pathway, supplied as a topical research formulation for in-vitro melanocyte and pigmentation-pathway research.
Compound Class and Mechanism
Melanostatin DM is structurally derived from the melanocyte-inhibiting factor family of peptides, designed to competitively bind the MC1R melanocortin receptor on melanocytes without triggering downstream melanin-biosynthesis signalling. The compound has been characterised in preclinical cell-culture research for melanocyte pathway inhibition, distinct mechanistically from the tyrosinase competitive inhibitor Decapeptide-12 also in this catalogue.
