MT-1 10mg

Advance your investigations into the melanocortin system with high-purity MT-1 (10mg), the synthetic analog of the naturally occurring $\alpha$-melanocyte-stimulating hormone ($\alpha$-MSH). Also known in scientific literature as Afamelanotide, MT-1 is a non-selective agonist with high affinity for melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R.

Unlike its derivative MT-2, MT-1 is primarily studied for its linear peptide structure and its specific role in stimulating melanogenesis—the process of melanin production in melanocytes. This makes it an essential tool for researchers exploring photoprotection mechanisms, DNA repair pathways following UV exposure, and the biochemical regulation of skin pigmentation. Our MT-1 is synthesized to exacting standards, ensuring a crystalline lyophilized finish that maintains structural integrity for precise in vitro experimentation.
