Melanotan 1 (MT1) – 10mg

Melanotan 1 (NDP-α-MSH) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte–stimulating hormone, engineered for enhanced receptor affinity and stability. In controlled laboratory settings, MT-1 is utilized to investigate melanocortin receptor (primarily MC1R) activation, peptide–receptor binding characteristics, GPCR-mediated signaling pathways, and melanocortin-related biochemical processes. Mechanistic studies indexed under PMID: 2165796 describe the enhanced stability and receptor selectivity of NDP-α-MSH relative to endogenous α-MSH.

In vitro, MT-1 enables analysis of cyclic AMP (cAMP) generation, intracellular second-messenger cascades, receptor-selective peptide signaling, and GPCR pathway mapping. Its structural modifications—D-Phe substitution and enhanced peptide stability—make MT-1 a reliable tool for melanocortin research models requiring consistent and long-duration receptor activation.

Supplied as a high-purity lyophilized peptide, MT-1 is suitable for biochemical assays, receptor interaction studies, signaling pathway exploration, and controlled laboratory models examining melanocortin system dynamics.
