Melanotan 1 is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (αMSH), a naturally occurring hormone involved in pigmentation pathways.
In research settings, Melanotan 1 is studied for its interaction with melanocortin receptors, particularly those associated with melanin production and skin pigmentation processes. It is commonly used in laboratory studies exploring pigmentation mechanisms and receptor
activity. Product size: 10mg
