Premium Grade | UK Supply
Product Overview
Melanotan-1 is a sequence specific peptide compound structurally related to alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone and designed to interact with melanocortin receptor systems. Research interest centres on its high receptor selectivity and predictable interaction with melanocortin pathways associated with pigmentation signalling. The peptide is produced using controlled laboratory processes to ensure sequence accuracy, purity, and batch consistency. Its molecular structure supports stable receptor engagement and controlled signalling activation within experimental systems. Supplied in lyophilised format, the compound demonstrates favourable stability and solubility characteristics under appropriate laboratory storage conditions, supporting extended research programmes focused on pigmentation signalling, receptor biology, and melanocyte function regulation.
Scientific Background
Scientific research into Melanotan-1 focuses on its role as a melanocortin receptor agonist with strong affinity for receptors involved in melanogenesis signalling. Activation of these receptors initiates intracellular cascades that influence cyclic adenosine monophosphate signalling, transcription factor activation, and expression of pigmentation related genes. Research examines receptor binding specificity, downstream signalling intensity, and temporal response behaviour within melanocyte models. Additional studies explore its interaction with UV induced cellular stress pathways, DNA protection signalling, and adaptive pigmentation responses. Its defined sequence and predictable activity profile allow controlled examination of melanocortin system regulation and receptor mediated cellular adaptation within in vitro research frameworks.
Research Applications
In laboratory research environments, Melanotan-1 is utilised in in vitro studies examining melanocortin receptor signalling, melanocyte activation, and pigmentation related cellular responses. It is applied in receptor binding assays, signal transduction analysis, and gene expression studies associated with melanogenesis. Additional research applications include investigation of UV response modulation, cellular stress adaptation, and comparative analysis of melanocortin pathway ligands. The peptide is also employed in structure activity relationship research assessing receptor selectivity and signalling efficiency among melanocortin based peptides. Its reproducible receptor engagement profile supports.

How to Reconstitute Your Peptides
What You Will Need
- Lyophilized peptide vial
- Sterile solvent (such as bacteriostatic water or another suitable choice)
- 1 ml sterile syringe with a fine (29–30g) needle
- Sterile alcohol wipes
- Calculator for dilution and dosage accuracy
- Labels for marking each aliquot with concentration and date
- Sterile workspace or biosafety cabinet (recommended for best practice)
Preparation Steps
Allow the vial to reach room temperature
This helps prevent condensation, which can compromise sterility when you open the vial.
Draw up the solvent
Using a sterile syringe, measure the precise amount of bacteriostatic water or your chosen solvent.
Inject the solvent gently
Insert the needle into the vial at a 45-degree angle so the liquid runs down the inside wall, which reduces bubbling and foam.
Dissolve the peptide
Swirl the vial gently until the peptide powder is completely dissolved. Avoid shaking, as this can damage the peptide bonds.
Aliquot the solution
If smaller, single-use portions are needed, divide the solution into sterile microtubes using a new, sterile syringe or pipette for each.

Tips for Storing Your Peptides
General Storage Guidelines
- Store all peptides in airtight, moisture-resistant containers to prevent exposure to humidity.
- Minimise freeze-thaw cycles by dividing peptides into single-use aliquots whenever possible.
- Protect peptides from light, especially if they are modified or known to be photosensitive, by storing them in amber vials or wrapping them in foil.
- Always practice sterile handling and accurate labelling, including peptide name, concentration, date, and storage conditions.
Lyophilised Peptides
- Keep lyophilised (freeze-dried) peptides at minus 20°C or lower for long-term stability.
- Ensure the container is sealed tightly to keep out moisture.
- Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to avoid condensation, which can degrade the peptide.
- Only open vials in a dry environment to prevent humidity from affecting the product.
Reconstituted Peptides
- Store peptides reconstituted with sterile water or buffer at 2°C to 8°C and use within 1–12 weeks.
- If peptides are dissolved in DMSO or other organic solvents, store them at minus 20°C and protect from light.
- Always aliquot into single-use volumes immediately after reconstitution to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- Clearly label all aliquots with relevant information and only thaw as needed to preserve the peptide’s activity and integrity.
