MT-1 (Melanotan I)
Definition
MT-1 is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone studied for its interaction with melanocortin receptors involved in pigmentation and cellular signaling pathways.
Chemical Structure
MT-1 is a peptide analogue derived from alpha-MSH with modifications that enhance stability and receptor interaction.
FAQs
1. What is MT-1 studied for?
Pigmentation signaling and melanocortin receptor research.
2. Is MT-1 naturally occurring?
No. It is synthetically produced.
3. What receptors does MT-1 interact with?
Primarily melanocortin receptors.
4. Is MT-1 FDA approved?
No. MT-1 from ChRIS Peptides is research use only.
5. Why do researchers study melanocortin pathways?
They regulate pigmentation, inflammation, and signaling.
6. Is MT-1 considered a hormone?
It is a peptide analogue, not a hormone itself.
7. Does MT-1 affect cellular signaling beyond pigmentation?
Yes. Melanocortin receptors influence multiple pathways.
8. Does ChRIS Peptides provide dosing guidance?
No.
9. Are MT-1 results predictable?
Results depend on experimental conditions.
10. Is MT-1 a pharmaceutical product?
No.
