MT-1 10 mg

MT-1, also known as Melanotan-1 or Afamelanotide, is a synthetic peptide analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is engineered for precision research into melanocortin receptor biology, melanogenesis (melanin production), and photoprotective cellular signaling.  

MT-1 is commonly used in controlled laboratory settings to investigate:

• Melanogenesis and melanin regulatory pathways
• Photoprotection mechanisms and cellular responses to UV exposure
• Melanocortin receptor pharmacology
• Receptor signaling and second-messenger dynamics (e.g., cAMP)
• Comparative studies of peptide receptor selectivity and ligand efficacy
