Melanotan I (MT-1) is a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist. It is the more linear, stable version of the endogenous peptide, specifically studied for its potential in skin cell protection and gradual pigmentation.

Research Focus:

  • Systemic Photoprotection: Researching its role as a preventative “internal” barrier against UV radiation.

  • Dermatological Studies: Investigating its efficacy in conditions related to light sensitivity and EPP.

  • Controlled Pigmentation: Evaluating the linear synthesis of eumelanin for predictable tanning results.

⚠️ STRICTLY FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY: This peptide is sold exclusively for laboratory experiments and scientific evaluation. It is NOT for personal use, injection, or ingestion.

Description

MT‑1 | 10mg | Synthetic Melanocortin Receptor Agonist

For In Vitro Research Use Only — Not for Human or Veterinary Use

Description

Midwest Peptide’s MT‑1 is a high‑purity synthetic analog of α‑Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (α‑MSH), formulated for controlled in vitro research involving melanocortin receptor pathways. This linear heptapeptide exhibits potent agonist activity at MC1R and MC3–5R, making it a valuable tool for studying pigmentary responses, metabolic signaling, and neuroimmunomodulatory mechanisms.

In laboratory environments, MT‑1 has demonstrated strong melanogenic effects through cAMP‑mediated pathways in melanocyte cultures. Research indicates that MT‑1 interacts with melanocortin receptors involved in pigmentation, appetite regulation, and inflammatory modulation, supporting its use in studies exploring melanocortin system function and receptor subtype specificity.

Each vial contains 10mg of lyophilized MT‑1 peptide, produced under strict quality standards to ensure consistency and reliability for dermatological, metabolic, and neurological research applications.

Specifications

  • Unit Size: 10mg (lyophilized powder, single vial)
  • Form: White crystalline lyophilized powder
  • Molecular Weight: ~1.1 kDa
  • Solubility: Soluble in sterile water or bacteriostatic water for research purposes
  • Sequence: Ac‑Ser‑Tyr‑Ser‑Nle‑Glu‑His‑D‑Phe‑Arg‑Trp‑Gly‑Lys‑Pro‑Val‑NH₂

Research Applications

MT‑1 is utilized in vitro for investigation of:

  • Melanogenesis and pigmentary pathways in melanocyte cultures
  • Melanocortin receptor signaling and downstream cAMP‑mediated effects
  • Metabolic regulation via central melanocortin pathways
  • Neuroimmune interactions and inflammatory response modulation
  • Comparative studies of melanocortin receptor subtype specificity
