MT-1

Original price was: $23.00.Current price is: $18.00.

MT-1 (Melanotan I / Afamelanotide) is a synthetic melanocortin peptide used in photoprotection research to examine MC1R signaling, eumelanin production, and UV-response pathways. As a linear α-MSH analog, MT-1 is studied for melanogenic activity and skin pigmentation readouts in preclinical dermatology models.

  • Research class: Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) agonist peptide analog
  • Primary research purpose: Investigation of melanogenesis, eumelanin synthesis, and UV-induced DNA damage protection markers
  • Research focus: Tyrosinase activity, melanin content assays, and MC1R downstream signaling readouts
  • Common research endpoints: Skin pigmentation metrics, melanocyte activation markers, and photoprotection model parameters
