MT-1 10mg Peptides
For researchers who demand exactness at every step, this lyophilized peptide delivers disciplined consistency from synthesis to sealed vial.
This MT-1 (Melanotan 1) lyophilized peptide comes as a research-grade vial containing a total of 10mg. The format is a dry, freeze-dried powder designed for controlled laboratory handling; the active class is a melanocortin analog supplied for specialized research workflows that require precision and repeatability.
- Each vial contains 10mg of Melanotan 1 (MT-1), a melanocortin analog commonly evaluated for receptor activity, signaling pathway exploration, and photobiology research where consistency and purity are critical to study design.
As a non-edible, lab-use material, this vial is intended for environments where careful reconstitution, aliquoting, and documentation are standard practice. Researchers value MT-1 for its role in investigating melanocortin system dynamics, allowing method development, comparative assays, and controlled modeling without unnecessary variables. The lyophilized format supports predictable handling characteristics when incorporated into validated protocols and permits accurate tracking of material use across iterative experiments.
The experience is centered on reliability: clear labeling, measured content, and a format selected to support controlled dissolution and precise measurement. Whether you are conducting exploratory receptor-binding studies or refining established laboratory methods, the goal is to provide a consistent starting point so outcomes reflect your design—not variability in source materials.
Quality and trust are foundational. Supplied by a USA-based laboratory brand, each vial reflects a disciplined approach to sourcing, handling, and lot control. Products are managed under rigorous internal standards with batch traceability and documentation to support laboratory compliance needs. Packaging is designed for integrity throughout transit and storage, helping protect the material until it enters your controlled workflow.
For laboratory research only. Not for human or animal use, injection, or diagnostic procedures. Handle in accordance with your institutional protocols and applicable regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MT-1?
MT-1 usually refers to a melanocortin analog in the Melanotan I or afamelanotide-related category. It belongs to pigmentation-focused peptide research rather than growth-hormone or repair-peptide research. For website copy, it should be described as a melanocortin-pathway research peptide used in laboratory studies only.
What is MT-1 typically studied for?
Researchers typically study MT-1 for melanogenesis, pigmentation signaling, and photobiology-related questions. If you use this compound name on a product page, it helps to note that MT-1 is generally discussed as the milder, more selective counterpart to MT-2 in melanocortin research.
What are melanocortin peptides?
Melanocortin peptides are a family of signaling peptides derived from the precursor protein proopiomelanocortin (POMC). The family includes α-MSH, β-MSH, γ-MSH, and ACTH, along with a number of synthetic analogs developed for research purposes, such as Melanotan I, Melanotan II, PT-141, and others.
Melanocortins are studied in connection with pigmentation pathways, appetite and energy balance research, and sexual-function signaling, depending on which receptor subtype is engaged. All melanocortin-class compounds offered by Peptide Scientific Labs are lyophilized research materials intended solely for in vitro laboratory investigation.
What is the melanocortin receptor system?
The melanocortin receptor system is a family of five G protein-coupled receptors designated MC1R through MC5R. Each subtype has a different tissue distribution and research-studied function: MC1R is associated with melanocyte biology and pigmentation, MC2R with adrenal cortex signaling, MC3R and MC4R with central nervous system pathways related to energy balance, and MC5R with exocrine tissues.
Research on melanocortin peptides is largely organized around which receptor subtypes a given peptide preferentially engages. This receptor selectivity is a key variable in how these compounds are studied in the laboratory.
How do α-MSH and related peptides fit into this family?
α-MSH (alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone) is a 13-amino-acid peptide derived from POMC and is one of the best-studied members of the melanocortin family. It is investigated primarily in the context of MC1R signaling and pigmentation research, but it also interacts with other melanocortin receptors at varying affinities.
Synthetic analogs such as Melanotan I and Melanotan II were developed to study more stable or receptor-selective variants of the natural α-MSH sequence. These analogs retain the core structural features of α-MSH while differing in their stability and receptor preference, which makes them useful reference compounds in melanocortin-system research.
