☀️ Melanotan I Peptide:
Alternative Names: Afamelanotide, NDP-MSH
Key Feature: Potent, Stable α-MSH Analogue
🔬 Product Summary
-
Mechanism: Melanotan I is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), engineered to be more stable and potent than the naturally occurring peptide.
-
Primary Research Focus: It is widely studied in preclinical models for its ability to stimulate melanogenesis (pigment production), increase skin pigmentation, and provide photoprotection.
-
Research Applications: Due to its high receptor selectivity (MC1R) and prolonged half-life, researchers utilize Melanotan I as an effective tool for dermatology and photobiology research, exploring areas like:
-
Melanocortin receptor biology.
-
UV protection mechanisms and DNA damage repair pathways.
-
Inflammatory modulation.
-
✅ Why It's Chosen for Research
-
Potent Analogue: It is a selective agonist of MC1R with improved metabolic stability.
-
Extended Action: Possesses a longer half-life compared to native α-MSH.
-
Photobiology Use: Used specifically to study UV-protective and pigmentation pathways.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Potential: Investigated for its capacity to modulate immune response.
-
Quality Assured: Each lot is batch verified for identity, purity >98\% and confirmed potency.
