Melanotan I is a synthetic linear peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), designed to selectively activate the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). It is currently under investigation in preclinical models for its role in melanin biosynthesis, UV protection, and pigmentation signaling. Research applications include studies on photoprotection, immune modulation, and melanocortin receptor cascade dynamics. Its stability and receptor specificity make it a valuable tool for examining MC1R-mediated cellular responses in controlled laboratory environments. This compound is provided strictly for laboratory research purposes and is not approved for human or veterinary use,
