Safety & Compliance

All products are intended for research use only. Follow standard lab safety guidelines, including proper protective equipment and waste disposal protocols.

Melanotan 1 (MT-1, also known as Afamelanotide) is a synthetic linear tridecapeptide analog of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).

It acts as a potent agonist primarily at the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R). In research models, Melanotan 1 is studied for its ability to stimulate melanogenesis (melanin production), leading to increased skin pigmentation and enhanced photoprotection against UV radiation. It has been investigated for potential applications in photosensitivity disorders and skin cancer prevention models.

Key Research Areas:

  • Skin pigmentation and melanogenesis
  • UV photoprotection and sun damage prevention
  • Photosensitivity disorders (e.g., erythropoietic protoporphyria models)
  • Melanocortin receptor signaling
  • Dermatological and pigmentation research
