EXPLORE MELANOTAN-1

What Is Melanotan-1?

Melanotan-1 is a synthetic peptide analog of α-MSH that binds the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) on skin cells to trigger melanin production. Researchers use it to study pigmentation dynamics, UV-response mechanisms, and melanocyte biology with high precision and minimal variability.

 

Why Choose Melanotan-1?

Pick Melanotan-1 when you need a straightforward pigmentation tool. Its proven ability to induce melanin reliably—without influencing unrelated hormone pathways—makes it ideal for screening sunscreen agents, pigment regulators, and UV-protection compounds in both cell and animal models.

 

What Sets Melanotan-1 Apart?

Unlike broader melanocortin fragments, Melanotan-1 offers enhanced stability and MC1R specificity, giving you stronger, longer-lasting pigmentation signals. Its simple dosing and clean receptor profile mean fewer variables and more reproducible pigmentation assays.

Melanotan-1 FAQs

What is Melanotan-1 used for in research?
To study melanin production, pigmentation pathways, and UV-protection in cell and animal models.
How quickly does Melanotan-1 work?
Pigmentation markers appear within 4–6 hours in melanocyte cultures.
What concentration should I use?
Typical in vitro ranges are 100 nM–1 µM, adjusted per cell line and endpoint.
Can Melanotan-1 protect cells from UV damage?
Yes—treated cells show enhanced survival and reduced DNA damage under UV stress.
How do I prepare Melanotan-1?
Reconstitute in Sterile Water for Injection, mix gently until clear, then use immediately or store at 2–8 °C.
What storage conditions are required?
Keep powder at –20 °C; use reconstituted solution within 7 days at 2–8 °C.
Does Melanotan-1 affect other hormones?
No—its design ensures MC1R-specific action without cortisol or ACTH spikes.
Can I combine it with UV-filter compounds?
Yes—commonly paired with antioxidants or sunscreen agents for synergistic photoprotection studies.
Is Melanotan-1 approved for clinical use?
No—strictly for research use only, not for therapeutic or cosmetic application.
Where can I buy Melanotan-1 peptide?
Real Peptides offers ISO-certified, USA-manufactured Melanotan-1 (10 mg), ≥ 99% purity, and low endotoxin—available for research use only.
