What is Melanotan 1?
Melanotan 1 (Afamelanotide) is a 13-amino-acid linear analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Research has examined its agonist activity at melanocortin receptors, centred on MC1R-mediated effects on melanogenesis. What sets it apart from Melanotan II is its linear rather than cyclic structure and its greater selectivity for MC1R. Melanotan 1 is supplied as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro laboratory research only, not for human or veterinary use.
Published research on Afamelanotide is indexed on PubMed.
