MT-1 10mg

Description

MT 1 10 mg, commonly known as Melanotan I or afamelanotide, is a research grade synthetic analog of alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone, commonly abbreviated as alpha MSH. It is studied primarily for its interaction with melanocortin receptors and its influence on pigmentation related cellular pathways.

MT 1 is a 13 amino acid peptide incorporating targeted structural modifications that improve stability and biological activity compared with naturally occurring alpha MSH. These characteristics make it a valuable research tool for examining melanocortin receptor pharmacology and modified peptide design.

In laboratory models, MT 1 primarily activates the melanocortin 1 receptor, commonly known as MC1R. This receptor is expressed on melanocytes and plays an important role in cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling, melanin synthesis, and cellular responses associated with ultraviolet exposure.

Researchers may use MT 1 to investigate melanogenesis, pigmentation signaling, receptor binding, concentration response relationships, and the molecular pathways involved in photoprotective cellular responses.

Experimental research has also examined MC1R signaling in relation to antioxidant activity, DNA repair mechanisms, inflammatory regulation, and cellular responses to ultraviolet related stress.

The 10 mg presentation is suitable for preliminary investigations, receptor response assays, pigmentation focused cell models, concentration response testing, and comparative studies involving alpha MSH and other melanocortin analogs.

Each PEPTEX Labs production lot is supplied as a research grade lyophilized peptide and accompanied by analytical documentation. Testing may include HPLC purity analysis, mass spectrometry identity verification, net content testing, and endotoxin analysis, depending on the individual batch.
