What Is Melanotan 1?
Melanotan 1 (also known as Afamelanotide’s research predecessor) is a synthetic analog of the alpha-melanocyte–stimulating hormone (α-MSH).
Researchers study Melanotan 1 for its interactions with melanocortin receptors, pigmentation-related pathways, and signaling mechanisms involved in skin biology.
GENIQ supplies this compound strictly for laboratory research—not for human or animal use.
Peptide Overview
Melanotan 1 is a stable, long-lasting peptide analog used in research to explore α-MSH–related biochemical activity.
In laboratory studies, Melanotan 1 is frequently examined for its potential to promote changes in:
| • Melanocortin receptor (MC1R) activation |
| • Melanocyte signaling responses |
| • Pigmentation pathway modeling |
| • UV-response biochemical processes |
| • Anti-inflammatory signaling related to melanocortin pathways |
| • Skin and photobiology models |
| These findings reflect controlled experimental environments only. |
All findings remain limited to preclinical and in-vitro experimental environments.
History of Melanotan 1
Melanotan 1 originated from research into the melanocortin system, a regulatory network involved in pigmentation, inflammation, and skin-protection pathways.
Scientists developed synthetic variants of α-MSH to create stable, research-friendly molecules capable of extended receptor interaction.
This led to the identification of Melanotan 1 as an analog with increased stability, allowing researchers to explore pigmentation and melanocyte-related signaling in a more consistent in-vitro environment.
The peptide continues to be an important tool in studies of MC1R biology, photoprotection pathways, and melanocyte behavior.

Research Findings
Melanotan 1 is widely used in studies exploring:
| • MC1R receptor activation: Research investigates how Melanotan 1 interacts with melanocortin receptors responsible for pigment-related signaling. |
| • Melanocyte models: Studies observe changes in pigment-producing cells under controlled conditions. |
| • UV-protection pathways: Research examines biochemical responses associated with photoprotection and skin-defense signaling. |
| • Inflammatory regulation: Melanocortin peptides are known for their involvement in inflammation-related signaling pathways. |
| • Gene-expression behavior: Research explores how melanocortin activation influences gene regulation in skin and pigment-related systems. |
| These findings are limited to experimental laboratory settings. |
These findings reflect laboratory experiments only and do not indicate clinical outcomes.
