Melanotan-1 (MT-1) is a synthetic peptide utilized in laboratory research to investigate melanocortin receptor activity, pigmentation pathways, and related cellular signaling mechanisms. This material is provided strictly for controlled scientific research purposes. Any references to biological systems are included solely for academic context and do not constitute therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical claims. This product is not intended for human or animal use.
Melanotan-1 supplied for research purposes is typically manufactured as a high-purity peptide, produced under controlled conditions to ensure reliability in experimental use. Research-grade MT-1 is commonly characterized as an LPS-free peptide, endotoxin-free peptide, and research peptide endotoxin tested, supporting its suitability for sensitive biochemical, cellular, and receptor-binding studies where contaminant interference must be minimized.
Melanotan-1 (MT-1) is a synthetic peptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) supplied for laboratory research purposes. In experimental systems, this compound is used to study melanocortin receptor signaling and peptide-receptor interactions involved in pigmentation pathways. Any references to biological mechanisms are provided strictly for scientific context and do not represent therapeutic, cosmetic, or clinical claims. This material is supplied exclusively for research use and is not intended for human or animal use.

Background and Research Significance
α-MSH is a peptide hormone known for its high affinity for the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), a receptor that plays an essential role in determining pigment production in biological systems. In addition to MC1R, α-MSH interacts with melanocortin receptors MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R, contributing to a wide spectrum of physiological effects. MT-1 was engineered to improve the stability and receptor-selectivity profile of α-MSH. With one amino acid substitution, MT-1 maintains strong binding to MC1R, which makes it especially valuable in pigmentation-centered research models. Its improved resistance to degradation also supports studies requiring peptide stability over extended observation periods.
Mechanistic Research Context
In laboratory research models, Melanotan-1 is used to investigate melanocortin receptor activity and intracellular signaling pathways associated with pigment cell regulation. Experimental studies examine how receptor activation influences cellular signaling responses in controlled research environments. These references are provided solely to describe areas of scientific investigation and must not be interpreted as medical or cosmetic claims.

FAQ – Research-Focused Questions
(For Research Purposes Only – Not for Human or Animal Use)
Q1: What is Melanotan 1 used for in research?
MT-1 is examined in studies involving melanogenesis, ultraviolet response, pigmentation pathways, and cellular photobiology.
Q2: How does MT-1 differ from Melanotan 2 in laboratory applications?
MT-1 is studied primarily for targeted pigmentation effects, while MT-2 is associated with broader systemic receptor interactions. MT-1 research typically focuses on MC1R-driven pathways.
Q3: What are typical storage recommendations for MT-1?
MT-1 should be stored in a cool, dark environment. For extended periods, freezing is commonly recommended to maintain peptide stability for research analysis.
Q4: Can MT-1 be combined with other peptides during studies?
Some laboratories examine interactions between multiple peptides, but MT-1 is frequently studied independently to isolate effects and maintain data clarity.
Q5: What does LPS-free mean for Melanotan-1 research peptides?
An LPS-free peptide indicates that the MT-1 has been processed to minimize lipopolysaccharide contamination, which is critical for laboratory experiments where endotoxins could interfere with cellular signaling, receptor assays, or biochemical readouts.
Q6: Why is endotoxin-free status important for MT-1 research?
An endotoxin-free peptide helps ensure that experimental observations are attributable to MT-1 itself rather than confounding inflammatory or stress responses caused by endotoxin contamination, particularly in sensitive in-vitro research systems.
Q7: Has Melanotan-1 10 mg been endotoxin tested?
Yes. Research-grade MT-1 is supplied as a research peptide endotoxin tested, providing additional confidence in its suitability for controlled laboratory studies requiring strict quality and purity standards.

Storage Instructions:
All of our products are manufactured using the Lyophilization (Freeze Drying) process, which ensures that our products remain 100% stable for shipping for up to 3-4 months.
Once the peptides are reconstituted (mixed with bacteriostatic water), they must be stored in the fridge to maintain stability. After reconstitution, the peptides will remain stable for up to 30 days.
Lyophilization is a unique dehydration process, also known as cryodesiccation, where the peptides are frozen and then subjected to low pressure. This causes the water in the peptide vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure known as lyophilized peptide. The puffy white powder can be stored at room temperature until you’re ready to reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water.
Once peptides have been received, it is imperative that they are kept cold and away from light. If the peptides will be used immediately, or in the next several days, weeks or months, short-term refrigeration under 4C (39F) is generally acceptable. Lyophilized peptides are usually stable at room temperatures for several weeks or more, so if they will be utilized within weeks or months such storage is typically adequate.
However, for longer term storage (several months to years) it is more preferable to store peptides in a freezer at -80C (-112F). When storing peptides for months or even years, freezing is optimal in order to preserve the peptide’s stability.
