Synthetic tridecapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone
Every lot independently verified by third-party laboratories
Full Certificate of Analysis with HPLC, mass spec, and endotoxin data
Melanotan-1 (also known as Afamelanotide) is a synthetic tridecapeptide (13-amino acid) analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), developed at the University of Arizona. It features a Nle⁴-D-Phe⁷ substitution that enhances receptor binding and metabolic stability.
Published research has examined Melanotan-1's selective binding to the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) and its downstream effects on melanogenesis signaling pathways in cell culture and animal models.
Manufactured under cGMP-equivalent protocols and verified to ≥99% purity via HPLC. Full COA included with every order.
Supplied as a lyophilized white powder. Soluble in sterile water. For research and laboratory use only.
