MT-1 10mg
MT-1 (Melanotan I), also known as Afamelanotide, is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (Ξ±-MSH), a naturally occurring peptide involved in melanocortin signaling pathways. Through strategic amino acid substitutions, MT-1 exhibits enhanced stability and receptor affinity compared to endogenous Ξ±-MSH, making it a widely studied compound in pigmentation, melanogenesis, and melanocortin receptor research.
In laboratory research environments, MT-1 is frequently evaluated for its interaction with melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R, which plays a central role in melanin synthesis and pigmentation pathways. Investigational applications may include studies involving melanocyte activity, ultraviolet radiation response models, eumelanin production mechanisms, receptor-binding kinetics, and peptide-mediated cellular signaling. Researchers also utilize MT-1 in experimental models examining melanocortin system regulation, pigment biology, and cellular protective responses associated with melanogenesis.
Supplied in a 10 mg lyophilized presentation, MT-1 is suitable for a variety of analytical and investigational laboratory workflows. Each vial is provided as a white lyophilized powder with purity exceeding 99% as verified by HPLC testing. Third-party analytical verification and corresponding certificates of analysis are provided where applicable.
