Melanotan-1 [Peptide] – Product Details
What is Melanotan-1 Peptide?
Melanotan-1, often abbreviated as MT-1, is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is a peptide that has been studied for its potential effects on skin pigmentation. The primary function of α-MSH in the body is to regulate skin color by stimulating the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye color.
In research settings, Melanotan-1 has been investigated for its ability to induce skin darkening (tanning) through the stimulation of melanin production. Researchers are interested in understanding the peptide’s mechanism of action and potential applications, particularly in the context of photoprotection, where increased melanin production may provide some level of protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
