Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a synthetic 13-amino-acid analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied for melanocortin receptor activity related to melanogenesis. Supplied for laboratory and educational research only. Note: afamelanotide is FDA-approved under the brand name Scenesse for a specific dermatologic indication, which places it in the same regulatory-risk category as other approved-elsewhere peptides on this site.
Studied as a linear, non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist with particular affinity for MC1R, researchers have noted a longer half-life and greater resistance to enzymatic degradation compared to native α-MSH.
Melanocortin receptor research and pigmentation pathway studies, alongside its distinct clinical development as a photoprotective agent for light-sensitive skin conditions.
