{"product_id":"melanotan-1-mt1-10mg","title":"MT-1 10mg","description":"\u003cp\u003eMT-1 (Melanotan I), also designated afamelanotide, is a synthetic linear tridecapeptide analogue of endogenous α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Unlike its cyclic counterpart Melanotan II, MT-1 retains a linear backbone analogous to the 13-amino-acid natural α-MSH sequence, differing primarily in a norleucine substitution at position 4 and a D-phenylalanine at position 7 (Nle⁴-D-Phe⁷-α-MSH), which confer receptor selectivity and enhanced metabolic stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e MT-1 (Melanotan I)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e MT1-010\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75921-69-6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso Known As:\u003c\/strong\u003e Afamelanotide, Nle⁴-D-Phe⁷-α-MSH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e C₇₈H₁₁₁N₂₁O₁₉\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 vial\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥99% (HPLC verified)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lyophilised Solid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store at −20°C; protect from light and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStability:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 months from date of manufacture when stored correctly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eResearch Background\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMT-1 is a selective agonist of the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), the primary receptor governing eumelanin synthesis in melanocyte cell cultures. It has been extensively studied in pre-clinical and clinical contexts for its photoprotective properties, with research demonstrating dose-dependent increases in eumelanin production in keratinocyte and melanocyte co-culture models. Its high receptor selectivity for MC1R relative to MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R distinguishes it mechanistically from Melanotan II in research settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn vitro studies have also explored MT-1 as a reference compound for melanocortin receptor pharmacology, signal transduction through the cAMP\/PKA pathway, and photocarcinogenesis research models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReconstitution Guidelines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReconstitute with sterile bacteriostatic water (available separately).
