About Melanotan 1
Melanotan 1 is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), the body’s natural tanning hormone, engineered to be more potent and longer lasting than the original.
Mechanism of interest
It activates melanocortin-1 receptors (MC1R) on pigment cells, stimulating eumelanin, the darker and more light-protective form of melanin.
