Overview
MT-1 (Melanotan I / Afamelanotide) is a synthetic 13-residue analogue of α-MSH. Supplied as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro research use only.
Mechanism of Action
Reported in published in-vitro studies as a selective MC1R-receptor ligand active on melanocyte cell-line cAMP assays. Not intended for human or veterinary use.
Research Effects
MC1R Receptor Binding
Extensive ResearchReported in receptor-binding assays as a selective high-affinity ligand of the MC1R melanocortin receptor.
cAMP Cell Assays
Extensive ResearchPublished melanocyte cell-line studies report effects on adenylyl-cyclase / cAMP pathway activity.
Tyrosinase Enzyme Studies
Moderate ResearchIn-vitro studies report effects on tyrosinase enzyme expression in cell culture.
