About Melanotan 1

Melanotan 1 (Afamelanotide) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that exhibits high affinity for the MC1R melanocortin receptor. Laboratory models demonstrate its utility in examining pigmentation signaling pathways and melanin production mechanisms. Research suggests Melanotan 1 influences melanocyte stimulation and UV response activity, making it valuable for investigating how the body regulates natural tanning, pigmentation, and photoprotection over time.

Mechanism of Action in Research

In research settings, Melanotan 1 is observed to selectively bind to MC1R receptors on melanocytes, stimulating melanin production through cAMP-mediated signaling pathways. Unlike Melanotan 2, MT1 demonstrates higher selectivity for MC1R with minimal activity at other melanocortin receptor subtypes. Studies examine its effects on eumelanin synthesis, pigmentation regulation, and UV-induced damage protection mechanisms.
