Description
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a linear alpha-MSH analogue with high MC1R affinity, studied for melanogenesis — the pigment-production pathway of melanocytes.
It holds regulatory approval elsewhere for a rare photosensitivity disorder, giving researchers a well-characterized reference agonist for MC1R and photoprotection biology.
