Melanotan 1

Melanotan 1 is a synthetic peptide and a derivative of the naturally occurring α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH), which plays a pivotal role in regulating skin pigmentation by stimulating melanin production. This peptide is primarily used in research to explore its effects on melanogenesis, skin tanning, and potential therapeutic applications for skin-related disorders and UV protection.

By binding to the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) in melanocytes, Melanotan 1 stimulates the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. It has been investigated for its ability to induce a natural, UV-independent tan, making it of interest in dermatology for studies related to skin protection and the prevention of sunburn. Additionally, research on Melanotan 1 focuses on its potential in addressing pigmentation disorders such as vitiligo and other skin conditions where melanocyte activity is impaired.

The 10mg vial of Melanotan 1 is designed for researchers initiating studies into skin pigmentation, UV protection, and the broader biological effects of melanocortin receptor activation. This vial size provides a manageable quantity for early-phase in vitro experiments, receptor binding assays, and initial in vivo animal studies, offering enough material for focused research without requiring larger volumes.

Progression Peptides offers Melanotan 1 as a high-purity lyophilized powder, with third-party purity verification to ensure that the peptide meets rigorous standards of quality and consistency. The lyophilized form maintains the stability and bioactivity of the peptide when stored and handled correctly.

Reconstitution: Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water, allowing it to dissolve gently without shaking. The solution should remain clear and free from visible particulates.

Storage: Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C. Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2-8°C and use within 30 days.
