Research Information
MT-1 (Melanotan I) is a synthetic analogue of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied for its role in melanocortin receptor research. Researchers are interested in how stabilised α-MSH analogues interact with the MC1R receptor — primarily involved in melanin synthesis — and the broader melanocortin receptor family. Most published work has used melanocyte cell lines to examine receptor binding and downstream tyrosinase enzyme activation.
Research areas
- MC1R receptor binding studies
- Melanocyte cell-line research
- Tyrosinase activation pathway studies
- α-MSH analogue comparison research
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. HelixCore products are batch tested for identity and purity as standard.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
