Melanotan 1 (MT1) 10mg Peptide

Melanotan 1 (MT1) 10mg – High-Purity Research Peptide

Melanotan 1 (also known as Afamelanotide or NDP-α-MSH) is a synthetic analogue of the naturally occurring α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been widely studied in controlled laboratory environments for its interaction with melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R) and downstream signalling pathways.

Supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) solid, Melanotan 1 10mg is manufactured under strict quality standards and verified at >99.1% purity via HPLC analysis. Each batch is accompanied by a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) to ensure consistency, transparency, and reproducibility in research settings.

What is Melanotan 1 (MT1)?

Melanotan 1 is an α-MSH analogue containing norleucine (Nle) and D-phenylalanine substitutions, designed to enhance receptor affinity and molecular stability. Research has focused on its role in melanocortin receptor activation, second-messenger signalling, and structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies.
