MT-1 (Melonotan 1)
Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) is a synthetic linear analogue of alpha-MSH β a 13-amino acid peptide studied for melanogenesis and photoprotective mechanisms. Higher MC1R selectivity distinguishes it from the broader-acting MT-2.
MT-1 preferentially binds the MC1R receptor in melanocytes, stimulating melanin synthesis with a more targeted melanogenic profile and different receptor interaction pattern than MT-2.
Add bacteriostatic water slowly along the inner vial wall. For a 10mg vial: 2mL BW yields 5mg/mL. Swirl gently β do not shake. Refrigerate after reconstitution; use within 28 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
MT-1 is a full-length linear Ξ±-MSH analogue with selective MC1R activity and a longer clinical research history. MT-2 is a shorter cyclic peptide with broader receptor affinity and greater potency in most preclinical models.
