Literature
Research context
Melanotan I substitutes norleucine at position 4 and D-phenylalanine at position 7 of native alpha-MSH, producing a superpotent and metabolically stable MC1R agonist. It is the reference ligand in melanocortin-1 receptor binding assays and appears in the photoprotection and eumelanin-synthesis literature in cell and animal models.
