MT-1 10mg – 3ml Vial

(Melanotan I)

Product Overview

MT-1 (Melanotan I) is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), designed to interact selectively with melanocortin receptor subtypes in laboratory research models.

In controlled in-vitro and pre-clinical research systems, MT-1 is commonly utilised to investigate:

• Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) binding dynamics

• Melanogenesis signalling pathways

• Cyclic AMP (cAMP) pathway activation

• Pigmentation-associated biochemical mechanisms

• Structure–activity relationships within melanocortin analogues

MT-1 is structurally modified to enhance receptor affinity and metabolic stability compared to endogenous α-MSH, making it suitable for mechanistic receptor research under non-clinical laboratory conditions.

Supplied in lyophilised form to preserve peptide integrity and ensure analytical stability prior to reconstitution.

Handling & Storage Guidelines

Unreconstituted (Lyophilised) Storage:
Store at −20°C for long-term preservation. Short-term storage at 2–8°C is acceptable if intended for use within 1–3 months.

Reconstituted Storage:
After reconstitution, store at 2–8°C and use within 3–6 weeks. Stability may vary depending on solvent selection and handling conditions.

Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Protect from excessive agitation, heat, and direct light exposure.
