Overview
MT-1 (Melanotan 1) is a synthetic, linear analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), the compound referenced in the literature as afamelanotide. As a melanocortin-class compound, it carries the conserved His-Phe-Arg-Trp core motif that characterizes this signaling family, with sequence substitutions described in the literature as conferring greater metabolic stability than native alpha-MSH. This product ships as a lyophilized powder in a kit of 10 vials and is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research use.

Research context
In published literature, MT-1 is studied as a tool compound within melanocortin receptor signaling research, with particular interest in the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) pathway investigated in pigmentation biology. It is referenced in laboratory studies of melanocyte model systems, photoprotection mechanisms, and receptor-ligand binding characterization at MC1R. The compound is also the subject of structure-activity research examining how alpha-MSH analogs differ in reported receptor selectivity and proteolytic stability. All such work is documented as research conducted in vitro or in controlled laboratory study settings, and is described as published research rather than as any outcome produced by this product.
Storage and handling
Store the lyophilized powder cool, dark, and dry, with minus 20 C commonly cited for long-term stability and protection from light and repeated temperature cycling. Handle in accordance with standard laboratory safety practices, including appropriate personal protective equipment and documented chain-of-custody for research materials. Solubility and reconstitution should follow the protocols established by the receiving laboratory for in-vitro work.
