MT-1

DISCLAIMER: This product is strictly for laboratory and in vitro research purposes only. It is not approved for human consumption, veterinary use, diagnostic, or therapeutic applications.

This lyophilized compound is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is formulated specifically for the investigation of melanocortin receptor (specifically MC1R) binding affinity and downstream signaling cascades in controlled laboratory environments. Current in vitro research utilizing Melanotan 1 focuses on the stimulation of melanogenesis, the regulation of eumelanin synthesis in isolated melanocyte cell cultures, and the evaluation of cellular responses within ultraviolet (UV) radiation models. This material is supplied exclusively as a laboratory reagent for advanced structural and functional biochemical studies.
