What is MT-1 (Melanotan 1)?

Melanotan 1 (Afamelanotide)

Mechanism of Action

Melanotan 1 is a synthetic linear peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It acts as a non-selective agonist at melanocortin receptors, primarily MC1R. Research focuses on its interaction with melanocortin pathways and effects on melanogenesis - the process by which melanocytes produce melanin pigment.

Peptide Structure

Linear peptide analog of α-MSH (13 amino acids)

Research Applications

Melanocortin receptor research
Melanogenesis studies
Photoprotection research
Skin pigmentation
MC1R activation
