MT-1

Description

For Research Use Only. This product is supplied exclusively for laboratory research and is not intended for human or veterinary use.

MT-1 10mg Research Material

MT-1 is a synthetic linear analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It is also described in scientific databases as afamelanotide or NDP-alpha-MSH and differs from endogenous alpha-MSH at two amino-acid positions. ZENTRA supplies it as lyophilised research material for controlled receptor-binding, analytical and peptide-stability work.

Each product page links to the analytical documentation for the current batch so researchers can verify the exact material supplied rather than relying on a catalogue-wide purity claim.

Technical Specifications

Independent Batch Testing

Current batch ZC0031 was independently tested by Sonic Laboratory. The report records 99.31% HPLC purity and includes mass-spectrometry identity analysis under laboratory reference SD20260820_012. View the matching report in our Batch Verification and COA Centre.

MT-1 Research Context

Laboratory research has used MT-1 to investigate melanocortin-receptor pharmacology, particularly MC1R binding and downstream pigment-signalling pathways. Its altered sequence was designed to increase resistance to enzymatic degradation and receptor affinity compared with endogenous alpha-MSH. These observations concern molecular and experimental models and must not be treated as evidence for an unapproved human use.

Research results can vary with material identity, concentration, assay design and model system. Findings from one experiment or batch should not be assumed to apply universally. ZENTRA does not provide medical, therapeutic or dosing guidance.

Storage and Handling

Keep unopened lyophilised material at approximately -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C for short-term laboratory storage. Protect from light, moisture and repeated temperature changes. Use appropriate laboratory handling procedures and consult the Research Peptide Storage Guide and Lyophilised Peptide Reconstitution Guide.
