Melanotan I – 10 mg per vial
$30.00
Melanotan I, also known as Afamelanotide, is a synthetic linear peptide analogue of the naturally occurring α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It consists of 13 amino acids and demonstrates high affinity for the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), a receptor pathway primarily associated with skin pigmentation and photoprotection. In laboratory research settings, Melanotan I has been studied for its potential to stimulate melanin production, enhance UV resistance, and modulate certain biological processes linked to oxidative stress and DNA damage repair.
Important Note
Melanotan I is not approved for human consumption, medical use, or diagnostic purposes. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research only. Handling should be performed by qualified professionals in an appropriate research setting.
