Description
MT-1 (Melanotan 1)
MT-1 (Melanotan 1) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Preclinical research explores its potent stimulation of melanogenesis with enhanced response to UV exposure and photoprotective properties.
Key Research Areas
- • Studied for potent stimulation of melanogenesis with tanning effects that are significantly enhanced by UV/sun exposure.
- • Investigated for reduction of UV-induced skin damage and support of DNA repair mechanisms in dermatological research models.
- • Explored for potential anti-inflammatory and photoprotective effects in skin and photosensitivity research.
