Melanotan 1 10mg (MT1, afamelanotide) is a linear alpha-MSH analogue from Peptide Sciences, used in research on melanin production and photoprotection.
Melanotan 1 Research Overview
Melanotan 1 ([Nle4, D-Phe7]-α-MSH) is a stabilised analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone that selectively activates the MC1 receptor on melanocytes. Research studies how MC1R activation increases eumelanin synthesis and influences DNA-repair responses to UV exposure in skin models.
