MT 1 10mg Product Information
Melanotan 1 (MT1 / afamelanotide) is a melanocortin-receptor research peptide used in controlled in-vitro studies of receptor pharmacology, second-messenger signalling, and structure–activity relationships under non-clinical laboratory conditions. Melanotan 1 (MT1 / Afamelanotide) — 10 mg | Research Use Only This α-MSH analogue incorporates Nle4 and D-Phe7 substitutions (NDP-α-MSH), making it a useful tool for exploring melanocortin receptor engagement and downstream pathways in model systems. For laboratory research only. Not for human use. Key features α-MSH analogue (NDP-α-MSH) for in-vitro receptor-signalling and SAR studies. Supplied as a lyophilised solid for stability and straightforward storage. Unit size: 10 mg per vial. Each batch released after stringent internal quality checks.
