Melanotan I Peptide Research
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a synthetic linear analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied for its selective activation of the MC1R melanocortin receptor, which regulates melanogenesis and skin pigmentation. Unlike Melanotan II, it has minimal activity at MC3R and MC4R, reducing its effects on appetite and sexual function. Research has focused on its applications in erythropoietic protoporphyria — for which it has received regulatory approval in some jurisdictions — as well as photoprotection, vitiligo, and polymorphous light eruption. This section covers scientific studies on Melanotan I and its melanocortin system and photoprotection peptide research applications.

Newest Melanotan I Research
Melanotan I (also called afamelanotide or MT-1) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone studied primarily for its selective activation of the melanocortin-1 receptor, which drives eumelanin production and UV photoprotection. It is the only melanocortin peptide to receive FDA approval, currently authorized under the brand name Scenesse for erythropoietic protoporphyria. This guide covers Melanotan I peptide research across its...
About The Cenexa Labs Research Library
This section of the research library focuses on scientific studies involving and related research. The Cenexa Research Library compiles publicly available scientific literature and research summaries related to peptides, bioregulators, and signaling molecules. Our goal is to make complex scientific research easier to understand without requiring a technical background.
