Product information

Melanotan-1 is a synthetic melanocortin peptide studied mainly for pigmentation-pathway research. Compared with Melanotan-2, it is generally discussed as more selective, which makes the difference between the two products easier to understand.

Research information

What Is Melanotan-1?

Melanotan-1 is a synthetic peptide in the melanocortin research family. It is associated mainly with the MC1 receptor pathway, which is linked with pigmentation biology.

Why Is It Being Researched?

Researchers study Melanotan-1 because receptor selectivity matters. A compound that is more focused on MC1 can be compared with broader melanocortin peptides to understand how receptor choice changes research findings.

What Is Known So Far?

The easiest comparison is with Melanotan-2 and PT-141. Melanotan-1 is more focused on pigmentation-pathway research, Melanotan-2 is broader across melanocortin receptors, and PT-141 is discussed more around central melanocortin signalling. This product is supplied for research use only.
