Melanotan I
Melanotan I is a synthetic analog of α-MSH that acts as a non-specific melanocortin receptor agonist. It is utilized in research to study skin pigmentation, photoprotection, and erectile function, with applications in both in vitro receptor binding assays and in vivo models for melanoma and UV-induced skin cancer.
