Melanotan I

Melanotan I is a potent non-selective melanocortin receptor (MCR) agonist. Melanotan I is a synthetic analogue of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that stimulates melanogenesis. Melanotan I can induce skin tanning by mimicking the actions of a-MSH on the melanocortin type 1 receptors (MC1R) of melanocytes. Melanotan I can be used for the research of sun-induced skin cancer, melanoma, inflammation and male erectile dysfunction[1][2][3][4].
