Description
MT-1 10mg
MT 1 (also known as Afamelanotide) is a synthetic 13-amino acid linear peptide structurally derived as an analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). With the sequence Ac-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Nle-Glu-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Lys-Pro-Val-NH₂, Melanotan 1 represents a peptide modification engineered to enhance stability and resistance to enzymatic degradation compared to native α-MSH. As a synthetic research peptide, Melanotan 1 has been studied in cellular research literature examining melanocortin receptor pharmacology and peptide chemistry.
Each vial contains 10mg of lyophilized MT 1 in a sealed 3mL glass vial, verified through Mile High Compounds’ three-tier quality protocol: 7x independent third-party analytical testing, 4-vial batch conformity verification, and comprehensive heavy metal screening.

Research Context
MT-1 is utilized in research applications involving peptide chemistry, melanocortin receptor pharmacology, and cellular research applications. As a linear α-MSH analog with structural modifications including Nle (norleucine) substitution and D-Phe substitution, MT-1 represents a research subject in the broader field of peptide stability engineering — specifically the use of amino acid substitution strategies to extend peptide half-life and enzymatic resistance compared to native α-MSH sequences.
This compound is supplied exclusively for in vitro research and laboratory investigation by qualified researchers in appropriate research environments.
Analytical Verification
Every batch undergoes Mile High Compounds’ comprehensive analytical protocol:
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for purity quantification
- Mass Spectrometry (MS) for molecular weight and identity confirmation
- 14-day sterility testing
