Melanotan I acts as a selective agonist of the MC1R receptor, stimulating melanogenesis (melanin synthesis) in skin cells. This pathway contributes to natural tanning, UV protection, and cellular defense against oxidative damage.
Research indicates that α-MSH analogs like Melanotan I may play roles in:
Modulating inflammatory responses
Supporting DNA repair after UV exposure
Enhancing skin photoprotection mechanisms
