Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a linear thirteen-residue analogue of alpha-MSH in which norleucine and D-phenylalanine substitutions resist enzymatic breakdown. It acts mainly at the melanocortin 1 receptor on pigment cells. Researchers use it in melanocyte cultures and animal models to examine MC1R signaling, eumelanin synthesis and photobiology.
