What is Nonapeptide-1?
Nonapeptide-1 is a competitive antagonist of alpha-MSH at the MC1 receptor on melanocytes. By blocking MC1R activation, it reduces cAMP signaling and MITF-mediated transcription of tyrosinase, TRP-1, and TRP-2, the key enzymes in melanin biosynthesis.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Nonapeptide-1 reduce melanin?
It competes with alpha-MSH for binding at MC1R on melanocytes. By blocking this receptor, it prevents the cAMP/MITF signaling cascade that activates melanin-producing enzymes (tyrosinase, TRP-1, TRP-2).
