Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) | Melanocortin Receptor Agonist

We offer high-purity Melanotan I, also known by its generic name Afamelanotide. It is a synthetic, linear peptide analogue of the endogenous alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This peptide is supplied as a lyophilized powder to ensure maximum stability and potency for use in a wide range of cellular research applications.

Melanotan I is a potent agonist of the melanocortin receptor system, with a high affinity for the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). Its structure has been modified for increased stability, making it a valuable tool for scientists. Researchers utilize this peptide in in-vitro models to investigate MC1R signal transduction, receptor binding kinetics, and downstream cellular responses in a controlled laboratory environment.
