MT-1 (Melanotan 1 Acetate)

Description

Melanotan 1 (MT1) 10mg – High-Purity Research Peptide

Melanotan 1 (also known as Afamelanotide or NDP-α-MSH) is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is commonly utilised in controlled laboratory research involving melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R) and associated signalling pathways.

Supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) solid, Melanotan 1 10mg is manufactured under strict quality standards and verified at >99.1% purity via HPLC analysis. Each batch is accompanied by a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) for batch-specific verification and traceability.

What is Melanotan 1 (MT1)?

Melanotan 1 is an α-MSH analogue containing norleucine (Nle) and D-phenylalanine substitutions, contributing to its structural stability in experimental conditions. In research environments, it is used as a model compound in studies involving melanocortin receptor interactions, signalling pathways, and structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis.
