[Nle4,DPhe7] a-MSH, amide;Melanotan Ⅰ

• Catalog Number: orb2693772
• Category: Proteins
• Description: Melanotan I is a potent non-selective melanocortin receptor (MCR) agonist. Melanotan I is a synthetic analogue of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that stimulates melanogenesis. Melanotan I can induce skin tanning by mimicking the actions of a-MSH on the melanocortin type 1 receptors (MC1R) of melanocytes. Melanotan I can be used for sunlight-induced skin cancers research.
