Compound overview

Product specifications, research context, and handling information.

MT-1

MT-1, also known as Melanotan I or afamelanotide, is a synthetic linear analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied in melanocortin receptor research.

Experimental systems examine MC1R signaling, pigment-cell pathways, and the structure–activity relationships of alpha-MSH analogs.

Key Research Areas

  • Melanocortin receptor pharmacology
  • MC1R signaling models
  • Pigment-cell signaling
  • Alpha-MSH analog structure–activity studies

Mechanism of Interest

MT-1 is investigated as an alpha-MSH analog in melanocortin receptor models, particularly those examining MC1R-associated signaling. Observed responses depend on the experimental system and receptor expression.
