Melanotan 1 (MT-1)

Melanotan 1 (MT-1) is a synthetic peptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This research compound has been studied for its potential effects on melanin production and skin pigmentation. MT-1 works by activating melanocortin receptors, which may stimulate melanogenesis in melanocytes.

Researchers have investigated MT-1 in laboratory and animal studies exploring its mechanisms of action on pigmentation pathways. The peptide has also been examined for potential applications in photoprotection research due to its relationship with melanin synthesis.

MT-1 is supplied as a research chemical for scientific investigation only. All products are intended for laboratory use and educational purposes. Not for human consumption.
