MT1 Melanotan 1 10mg

MT-1 10mg Research Peptide

MT-1 10mg, commonly known as Melanotan I, is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This linear 13-amino-acid peptide is primarily studied for its interaction with melanocortin receptors—particularly the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R)—and its relationship with melanin production, melanocyte activity, pigmentation pathways, photobiology, and cellular responses to ultraviolet radiation.

MT-1 was developed with structural modifications designed to improve stability compared with naturally occurring α-MSH. Its distinctive sequence has made it an important research compound in studies examining eumelanin synthesis, receptor signaling, oxidative stress, inflammatory pathways, and the biological mechanisms involved in skin pigmentation.

MT-1 is closely related to afamelanotide, an α-MSH analogue used as the active ingredient in an FDA-approved implant for a specific medical indication. However, Peptide Society MT-1 10mg is supplied independently as a laboratory research material. It is not an implant, prescription medication, or substitute for an approved pharmaceutical product.

Peptide Society supplies MT-1 in a precisely measured 10mg vial as lyophilized powder. Lyophilization helps maintain peptide integrity during storage and transportation while allowing qualified researchers to prepare the material according to established laboratory protocols.

MT-1 Research Areas

MT-1 is commonly investigated in controlled laboratory research involving:

• Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone activity
• Melanocortin-1 receptor signaling
• Melanocyte function and cellular communication
• Melanin and eumelanin production pathways
• Pigmentation and photobiology models
• Cellular responses to ultraviolet radiation
• Oxidative-stress mechanisms
• Inflammation-related molecular signaling
• Peptide stability and receptor-binding activity
• Structure–activity relationships
• Dermatological and molecular research models
• Photoprotection-related biological pathways

These subjects represent areas of scientific investigation. They do not describe proven benefits, approved uses, or directions for personal use.

MT-1 Compared With MT-2

MT-1 and MT-2 are separate research peptides. Although both are synthetic analogues related to α-MSH and are studied for melanocortin-receptor activity, they differ in structure, receptor-binding profiles, and primary areas of research interest.

MT-1 is a linear 13-amino-acid peptide studied primarily in connection with MC1R signaling and pigmentation-related pathways. MT-2 is a shorter cyclic peptide that interacts with multiple melanocortin-receptor subtypes. Researchers should treat MT-1 and MT-2 as distinct compounds rather than interchangeable forms of the same peptide.
