Product description:
MT-1 (Melanotan I) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), developed for laboratory research into melanocortin receptor activity. In in vitro studies, it is primarily investigated for its selective interaction with MC1R receptors, making it relevant in models focused on pigmentation pathways and cellular response to UV-related signaling. This 5mg lyophilized formulation ensures stability and precision for controlled experimental use.
