MELANOTAN 1 ACETATE (Afamelanotide) – Product Description
Melanotan 1 Acetate, also known as Afamelanotide, is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is a peptide consisting of 13 amino acids designed to bind to melanocortin receptors and stimulate melanin production. Melanotan 1 Acetate is widely utilized in peptide and melanocortin receptor research due to its high stability and prolonged biological activity compared to endogenous α-MSH.
This peptide is supplied as a highly purified lyophilized powder, suitable for laboratory and research applications. It is known for its strong affinity toward melanocortin receptors and its role in pigmentation-related studies.
