MT-1

£29.99

Melanotan I (MT-1, afamelanotide) is a synthetic 13-amino acid analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), modified at position 4 (Nle) and position 7 (D-Phe) to improve metabolic stability. Research has examined its selective MC1R agonism and resulting eumelanin synthesis pathway activation.

Research interest in MT-1 has focused on:

  • MC1R receptor binding affinity and selectivity over MC3R/MC4R
  • Tyrosinase activation kinetics in melanocyte cell cultures
  • Eumelanin synthesis pathway research
  • Comparative profiling versus MT-II

Supplied as lyophilised powder. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for research use. Each batch independently CoA-verified.

Research Handling Note
For best results, allow both the lyophilised peptide and your chosen solvent to reach ambient laboratory temperature before reconstitution. Introduce solvent slowly against the vial wall and allow the cake to dissolve without agitation to maintain structural integrity. Store reconstituted material per the specifications above.
