Product Details
MT-1 (Melanotan-1)
Melanotan-1 (MT-1) is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Each vial contains 10mg of lyophilized MT-1 for research purposes only. Third-party tested with Certificate of Analysis (COA) available. Purity: >99%. COA Batch: MPMT001.
Description
MT-1 is a synthetic analog of α-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH) specifically developed for research into melanocortin receptor pathways. This linear heptapeptide demonstrates potent agonist activity at melanocortin receptors MC1R and MC3-5R, making it valuable for studying pigmentary responses, metabolic regulation, and neuroimmunomodulatory processes in experimental models.
In controlled research environments, MT-1 has shown significant potential for stimulating melanogenesis through cAMP-mediated pathways in melanocyte cell cultures. The peptide interacts with key melanocortin receptors involved in pigment formation, appetite regulation, and inflammatory response modulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MT-1?
+
MT-1 (Melanotan 1, also called afamelanotide) is a synthetic 13-amino-acid analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) that selectively activates melanocortin-1 (MC1R) and to a lesser extent MC4R receptors. In research it is studied for melanocyte signaling, pigmentation pathway research, and photoprotection model systems. Supplied strictly for Research Use Only.
How is MT-1 different from MT-2?
+
MT-1 is more selective for the MC1R receptor (the pigmentation pathway). MT-2 activates a broader range of melanocortin receptors including MC4R. The selectivity difference produces different research profiles in published literature studying central versus peripheral melanocortin pathways.
What is MT-1 used for in research?
+
MT-1 is studied in preclinical research on melanocortin receptor signaling, melanin synthesis pathways, photoprotection model systems, and ultraviolet response research. All cited studies are conducted in cellular or rodent systems consistent with RUO classification.
