99% Pure | USA Made | Multi DoseMelanotan-1 is the classic melanocortin analog that jumps-starts melanin production in melanocyte cultures and preclinical models—perfect for labs dialing in skin-pigmentation pathways. One 10 mg vial delivers a stable, easy-to-use peptide that reliably sparks dose-dependent pigmentation without extra hormonal noise. USA-made, ≥ 99% pure (HPLC), and low-endotoxin (< 0.1 EU/mg), Melanotan-1 gives you fast, crisp melanin-response data every time.
Peptides are not ready to use. Must purchase BAC water for reconstitution.
Sparks melanin synthesis in cultured skin cells, so you get consistent pigmentation curves.
Shows a clear, concentration-dependent increase in melanin markers for precise assay tuning.
Enhances cell resilience under UV stress, enabling robust photoprotection studies.
High affinity for the melanocortin-1 receptor ensures focused pigmentation effects without off-target signaling.
Observe melanin upregulation within hours, speeding up your screening workflows.
Lyophilized powder—just reconstitute in sterile water, store at 2–8 °C, and use within 7 days.
Melanotan-1 is a synthetic peptide analog of α-MSH that binds the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) on skin cells to trigger melanin production. Researchers use it to study pigmentation dynamics, UV-response mechanisms, and melanocyte biology with high precision and minimal variability.
Pick Melanotan-1 when you need a straightforward pigmentation tool. Its proven ability to induce melanin reliably—without influencing unrelated hormone pathways—makes it ideal for screening sunscreen agents, pigment regulators, and UV-protection compounds in both cell and animal models.
Unlike broader melanocortin fragments, Melanotan-1 offers enhanced stability and MC1R specificity, giving you stronger, longer-lasting pigmentation signals. Its simple dosing and clean receptor profile mean fewer variables and more reproducible pigmentation assays.
To study melanin production, pigmentation pathways, and UV-protection in cell and animal models.
Pigmentation markers appear within 4–6 hours in melanocyte cultures.
Typical in vitro ranges are 100 nM–1 µM, adjusted per cell line and endpoint.
Yes—treated cells show enhanced survival and reduced DNA damage under UV stress.
Reconstitute in Sterile Water for Injection, mix gently until clear, then use immediately or store at 2–8 °C.
Keep powder at –20 °C; use reconstituted solution within 7 days at 2–8 °C.
No—its design ensures MC1R-specific action without cortisol or ACTH spikes.
Yes—commonly paired with antioxidants or sunscreen agents for synergistic photoprotection studies.
No—strictly for research use only, not for therapeutic or cosmetic application.
Real Peptides offers ISO-certified, USA-manufactured Melanotan-1 (10 mg), ≥ 99% purity, and low endotoxin—available for research use only.
