Ships from IrelandMT-1
MT-1 is a synthetic peptide studied for its interaction with a specific melanocortin receptor involved in pigmentation. Unlike some related peptides, it's of research interest for being more selective in which receptors it engages. Supplied as a freeze-dried powder for laboratory research use only.
Certificate of Analysis available
Five 1 ml insulin-style syringes (32G, 8mm) with alcohol prep wipes, for preparing research peptide solutions.
Storage & Preparation
Keep sealed, cool, dry and away from direct light.
Refrigerate or freeze for longer-term storage. Brief periods at room temperature, including during delivery, are generally not a concern.
Refrigerate at 2–8°C and protect from light.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Stability varies by compound, so follow any product-specific guidance.
Preparation solution is not included and must be purchased separately. Add the appropriate solution slowly against the inside wall of the vial, then gently swirl until dissolved. Do not shake.

Research Information
What Is MT-1?
MT-1 is an investigational peptide currently being studied for pigmentation-related pathways in laboratory research. It is supplied as a freeze-dried powder.
Why Is It Being Researched?
MT-1 is studied for how selectively it interacts with one melanocortin receptor in particular, compared to related peptides that engage several receptors at once. That selectivity is what makes it useful as a research comparison point.
MT-1 is a linear peptide studied for its relatively selective binding to the MC1R melanocortin receptor, compared to non-selective analogs like MT-2. Receptor activation is linked to melanin-production pathways in melanocytes via cAMP and downstream transcription factors. Its narrower receptor profile is a frequent point of comparison in melanocortin-pathway research.
