Melanotan I (MT-1) 10mg

Melanotan I (MT-1) (Melanocortin Receptor Agonist Peptide)

Melanotan I (MT-1) is a synthetic peptide for controlled in-vitro studies of melanocortin receptor-mediated signalling pathways.

This research peptide is an analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), designed to bind primarily to melanocortin receptors (notably MC1R). Its structure and receptor-binding profile make it useful for exploring pigmentation pathways, receptor signalling, and peptide–receptor interactions in vitro.
For laboratory research only. Not for human use.

About MT-1 In Research

Researchers investigate Melanotan I to study melanocortin receptor activation, particularly MC1R, and its role in pigmentation signalling pathways. Its peptide structure and receptor selectivity support consistent experimental outcomes across controlled, non-clinical in-vitro systems.

Synthesis & quality

Manufactured via controlled, validated peptide-synthesis processes to deliver high purity and lot-to-lot consistency. Each batch undergoes identity, purity, and appearance checks before release.
