Frequently asked questions
What is Melanotan-1?
Melanotan-1 (Afamelanotide, NDP-α-MSH) is a synthetic linear 13-amino acid analogue of α-MSH and a highly selective agonist of the Melanocortin-1 Receptor (MC1R). Due to Nle⁴ and D-Phe⁷ substitutions, it is more protease-resistant than native α-MSH.
What distinguishes Melanotan-1 from Melanotan-2?
MT-1 is a linear peptide with high MC1R selectivity. MT-2 is a cyclic heptapeptide and activates MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R more broadly. MT-1 is typically used for targeted MC1R studies.
How should I store Melanotan-1?
Store lyophilised product at 2–8 °C, protected from light and moisture. Reconstituted solutions are typically stored cold and protected from light in research settings; stability testing is the responsibility of the respective laboratory.
Is Melanotan-1 the same as Afamelanotide?
Yes – Melanotan-1 is the common name for [Nle⁴, D-Phe⁷]-α-MSH (NDP-α-MSH). Afamelanotide is the INN name for the same sequence, which has been investigated clinically for EPP. NovaCell supplies this peptide exclusively for RUO.
Is Melanotan-1 intended for use in humans?
No. Melanotan-1 from NovaCell is intended exclusively for research purposes (Research Use Only).
