Description
Melanotan 1 (Afamelanotide) | Melanocortin-1 Receptor Agonist – Research Peptide
Melanotan 1, also referred to as afamelanotide, is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone with sequence modifications that extend its half-life relative to the native peptide. It is studied as a selective ligand in melanocortin receptor research.
Laboratory investigations have examined its affinity for the MC1R subtype, the associated intracellular cyclic AMP signaling cascade in cultured cell models, and its comparative selectivity across the melanocortin receptor family.
Common research applications: melanocortin receptor pharmacology, cyclic AMP signaling assays, and pigment-cell biology research.
