MT-1 (Melanotan I)

Melanocortin Receptor Research Peptide

MT-1, commonly known as Melanotan I, is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte–stimulating hormone (α-MSH). In laboratory environments, it is studied for its selective interaction with melanocortin receptors, particularly MC1R, which regulate melanin production and pigmentation pathways.

Because of this targeted receptor activity, MT-1 has been widely researched in models focused on enhanced pigmentation response and UV-related skin biology.

This compound is supplied at >99% purity and is independently third-party lab tested to verify identity and analytical standards.

Description

Scientific Background

MT-1 binds to melanocortin receptors involved in melanin synthesis signaling. In controlled research settings, melanocortin analogs have been evaluated for:

  • Increased melanin production in pigmentation models
  • Accelerated tanning response under UV exposure research conditions
  • More even pigmentation signaling pathways
  • Photoprotection pathway activation studies
  • Oxidative stress response in skin biology research

Due to its receptor selectivity profile, MT-1 has been explored in models examining controlled tanning response and improved pigmentation efficiency compared to baseline UV exposure alone.

Peer-reviewed publications indexed through the National Library of Medicine include investigations into melanocortin receptor signaling and pigmentation pathway modulation in research environments.
