Melanotan-1 5mg

Melanotan 1 (MT-1, Afamelanotide) is a synthetic peptide analogue of endogenous alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) heavily researched for its high selectivity toward the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) and its potent activation of physiological melanogenesis.

The structural backbone of Melanotan 1 is a 13-amino-acid tridecapeptide sequence. By substituting native amino acids with D-phenylalanine at position 7 and norleucine at position 4, MT-1 exhibits significantly increased metabolic stability, extended biological half-life, and enhanced resistance to enzymatic degradation compared to native MSH.

Melanotan 1’s primary scope of research expands into targeted dermatological, photoprotective, and receptor-binding pathways, including:

• Selective MC1R Agonism & Melanogenesis
• Photoprotection & UV Damage Mitigation
• Inflammatory Response & Cytokine Modulation
• Vascular Integrity & Endothelial Function
• Extensive Safety & Receptor Profiling
