Melanotan I 10mg

Melanotan I, also known by the research designation afamelanotide, is a linear synthetic analogue of the endogenous peptide alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It carries a molecular weight of 1646.85 (CAS 75921-69-6) and is noted in the literature for its selectivity toward the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R). Sova supplies Melanotan I UK as a 10mg lyophilised vial for controlled laboratory use.

Pharmacologically, the molecule is characterised by its interaction with MC1R, one of the melanocortin receptor subtypes. Research interest centres on how MC1R engagement relates to the melanogenesis signalling cascade at the cellular level. Studies using the compound typically examine receptor binding and downstream melanocyte pathways in vitro, treating the peptide as a pharmacological probe of the melanocortin system rather than a functional agent.

Within the research literature, Melanotan I is studied in models of melanogenesis and pigmentation biology, where investigators explore the biochemistry of melanin-related signalling. Sova provides the peptide strictly as a characterised reference material for such laboratory investigations. It is an MHRA-sensitive pigmentation compound, and no claim of any physiological, cosmetic or human effect is made or implied by its supply.

Identity and purity are confirmed by HPLC together with mass spectrometry, and a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis accompanies each vial. Store the sealed, lyophilised peptide frozen and shielded from light, reconstituting only under appropriate laboratory conditions. Sova is a UK-based supplier providing this material for laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
