For research use only — not for human or veterinary use.  

Product Overview

Melanotan I is a synthetic peptide analogue developed for laboratory research involving melanocortin receptor systems, peptide-receptor interactions and molecular signalling pathways. The peptide has been widely referenced throughout scientific literature and remains one of the most extensively studied melanocortin-related compounds available to researchers. This preparation contains 10 mg of lyophilized Melanotan I supplied in a sealed research vial. Lyophilization helps preserve compound stability and allows convenient reconstitution for controlled laboratory experimentation. Due to its defined molecular structure, established analytical profile and extensive scientific history, Melanotan I continues to be utilised in a variety of peptide-focused research environments.  

Peptide Overview

Melanotan I is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and is commonly investigated in experimental models examining melanocortin receptor signalling pathways. Researchers frequently utilise Melanotan I in studies exploring receptor binding characteristics, intracellular communication systems and peptide-mediated signalling mechanisms. The compound has attracted considerable scientific interest because of its well-characterised structure and its suitability for controlled laboratory investigations. Its extensive presence within peer-reviewed literature has made Melanotan I a recognised research peptide across numerous scientific disciplines.  

Historical Background and Scientific Context

Research into melanocortin peptides expanded significantly during the latter part of the twentieth century as scientists sought to better understand receptor-mediated biological signalling systems. Advances in peptide synthesis technology enabled the creation of stable synthetic analogues suitable for controlled laboratory investigation and analytical verification. Melanotan I subsequently emerged as a frequently referenced peptide within melanocortin-related scientific research and continues to be studied in modern experimental settings. Its extensive scientific history has contributed to a large body of published literature examining peptide-receptor interactions and molecular communication pathways.
