Frequently asked questions
Research Overview
Melanotan 1 (Afamelanotide, [Nle4, D-Phe7]-α-MSH) is a linear tridecapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone with high selectivity for the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R). It is studied in experimental models for melanogenesis, UV-induced DNA damage response and MC1R pharmacology.
Primary Research Areas
- Melanogenesis & pigmentation: models studying eumelanin synthesis, MC1R signaling and skin pigmentation pathways.
- Photoprotection research: experimental systems exploring UV-protective mechanisms and DNA damage prevention.
- MC1R receptor pharmacology: studies on receptor binding selectivity and cAMP downstream signaling.
- Erythropoietic protoporphyria models: preclinical research into light-tolerance and phototoxicity endpoints.
For Research Use Only
This product is intended solely for in-vitro research and laboratory use. Not intended for human consumption, diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
Safety & Handling
Handle with appropriate protective equipment (gloves, lab coat, eye protection). Store according to product specifications. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full safety instructions.
