Description
Melanotan-1 (MT-1, also Afamelanotide) is a synthetic linear analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with selective MC1R receptor binding. As a research peptide, Melanotan-1 has been studied for its specificity in melanocortin receptor pharmacology, particularly in melanogenesis and melanin biosynthesis research.
Unlike its non-selective counterpart Melanotan-2, Melanotan-1 is preferred in research applications requiring MC1R-selective signaling.
