Description

MT-1 is a linear, synthetic peptide designed to mimic the action of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It is widely utilized in dermatological and cellular biology research as a primary agent to stimulate melanin production in experimental models.

Key Research Applications
MT-1 is the go-to compound for investigators studying the mechanisms of skin pigmentation and cellular responses to UV radiation. Its primary research utility lies in:

Stimulating Melanogenesis: Inducing the production of melanin in melanocyte cell cultures to study pigmentary disorders.

Photoprotection Models: Investigating how increased melanin levels, induced by MT-1, protect cellular DNA from ultraviolet (UV) light damage.

Receptor Signaling: Studying the downstream effects of Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) activation.

Product Integrity
Our MT-1 is synthesized to exacting standards to ensure consistent biological activity across experiments. It is supplied in a stable, lyophilized form requiring reconstitution before use in lab protocols.
