Description
MT-1 (Melanotan 1 / afamelanotide) is a synthetic 13-amino-acid research peptide analog of α-MSH. It is supplied as a high-purity lyophilized powder for laboratory use only.
The compound is typically described as Ac-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Nle-Glu-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-NH₂. Reported specifications commonly include a molecular weight of approximately 1647 g/mol. Identity and purity are confirmed by HPLC and mass spectrometry.
In laboratory and preclinical research, MT-1 has been investigated for effects on melanocortin receptor signaling, including studies related to pigmentation pathways and photoprotective response models in experimental systems. These findings are limited to research settings and do not establish approved medical use.
