Melanotan I Research Peptide

Description:
Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) is a synthetic analog of the natural α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone). It has been studied for its ability to stimulate melanocortin receptors, with research interest in skin pigmentation, UV protection, and immune modulation in preclinical models.

Research Notes:

• Studied for its role in increasing skin pigmentation (melanogenesis).

• Investigated for UV protection models in preclinical settings.

• Research interest in anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects.

• Demonstrated to bind to melanocortin receptors in laboratory studies.

• Stable when stored lyophilized; reconstituted solutions should be refrigerated.

Form & Storage:

• Form: Lyophilized powder, ≥98% purity (HPLC).

• Store dry: -20 °C, protected from light and moisture.

• Store reconstituted: 2–8 °C, avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
