MT-1
Melanocortin Research Peptide
Size: 10mg
MT-1 (Melanotan I) is an alpha-MSH analog and melanocortin-1 receptor agonist studied for melanogenesis and pigmentation signaling in research.
MT-1 (Melanotan I)
Linear analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH)
Studied in melanocortin-receptor and pigmentation research
Investigated for melanogenesis signaling in research models
Acts on melanocortin receptors in studies
Linear peptide structure distinguishes it from the cyclic MT-2
