Melanotan 1 (MT-1)

Melanotan I (MT-1) – 10mg Lyophilized Peptide

Product Description

Melanotan I (MT-1), also known as Afamelanotide, is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In laboratory settings, melanocortin peptides are commonly studied for their interactions with melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R, which are involved in pigmentation signaling pathways.

Melanotan I is frequently utilized in biochemical and receptor-binding studies investigating melanocortin receptor activity and peptide signaling mechanisms. Due to its structural stability and receptor selectivity, it has been examined in controlled research environments exploring pigmentation pathways and melanocortin biology.

This product is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder to maintain stability for laboratory handling and research applications.
