MT-1 10mg

Overview

MT-1 (Melanotan I, also known as afamelanotide or [Nle4, D-Phe7]-α-MSH) is a linear synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It was first described in 1980 as a highly potent α-melanotropin with prolonged biological activity, and it is widely used as a reference agonist in melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) and melanogenesis research. It is intended strictly for in vitro and laboratory research applications.
