Product Overview

Melanotan I is a synthetic analog of alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone that activates melanocortin 1 receptors in skin cells. It is studied for its ability to support melanin production and enhance photoprotective pigmentation in laboratory models. Research often evaluates Melanotan I as a selective agent for pigment pathways, distinguishing it from Melanotan II due to its reduced activity in appetite or libido related signaling. It is frequently used in studies involving UV protection, pigmentation disorders, and skin response to environmental stressors.

Applications in Research

UV protection and melanin production studies Melanocortin receptor signaling research Models involving pigmentation disorders and photodermatoses Skin response and photoprotection investigations

Storage and Handling

Store the lyophilized peptide at minus 20°C in a sealed, light protected container. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water under sterile laboratory conditions. After reconstitution, keep refrigerated and use within standard stability timelines. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
