Description

MT-1 (Melanotan-1) 10mg – Research Peptide

MT-1 (Melanotan-1) 10mg is a high-purity, research-grade synthetic peptide supplied for controlled laboratory investigation involving melanocortin receptor signaling and peptide-receptor interaction pathways.

Melanotan-1 is a synthetic peptide analog derived from α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In scientific literature, peptides related to α-MSH have been examined in experimental models involving melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R.

These receptor systems are associated with signaling pathways studied in melanocyte biology, peptide-receptor binding dynamics, and cellular response models within controlled research environments.

MT-1 (Melanotan-1) 10mg is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and analytical investigation. This compound is not approved for human or veterinary use.

Compound identity and specification

Identity data for Melanotan I (afamelanotide), published so the material can be checked against an independent record rather than taken on trust. The formula, mass and registry number below are verified against PubChem and can be looked up directly.

Analytical note — Melanotan I (afamelanotide). A linear 13-residue analogue, unlike the cyclic Melanotan II, and about 620 Da heavier. It carries tryptophan and tyrosine, so it reads clearly at 280 nm as well as at 214 nm, and an impurity that appears at 214 but not 280 lacks an aromatic residue.

Identity references The molecular formula, molecular mass and CAS registry number above are taken from the PubChem record linked in the table, not from a supplier datasheet, so every figure can be checked against an independent source in one click. Sequences are given as reported in the peptide literature, in the one-letter or three-letter convention as appropriate, with any non-standard residue named in full. Where a compound exists in more than one form — a free peptide and a metal complex, a fragment and its parent protein, a modified and an unmodified analog — the form supplied is the one identified here, and the mass on the certificate of analysis is what distinguishes it.
