Potential Applications in Research (RUO)

Strictly for laboratory research. No health, diagnostic, or therapeutic claims.

Melanocortin receptor pharmacology — quantify potency/efficacy at human MC1R/MC3R/MC4R using cAMP reporters or β‑arrestin recruitment in transiently or stably expressing cell lines.
Ligand bias & signaling kinetics — compare MT‑1 vs. α‑MSH and other analogs across second‑messenger profiles (cAMP/IP, ERK phosphorylation) under serum‑defined conditions.
Binding/competition assays — membranes or intact cells to determine K_i, association/dissociation rates, and rank‑order potency among melanocortin ligands.
Photobiology/cellular pigmentation models — assess MITF/tyrosinase axis readouts and melanosome dynamics in melanocyte cultures (in‑vitro only) with standardized light/UV exposure paradigms.
Analytical method development — RP‑HPLC/LC–MS(/MS) for identity, purity, recovery, and forced‑degradation stability across buffers and temperatures.

Quality, Storage & Handling

Each lot is confirmed by HPLC (purity) and MS (identity); the on‑vial QR links to the batch COA. Independent U.S. labs verify purity, quantity, and endotoxin.

Storage (lyophilized): −20 °C long‑term or 2–8 °C short‑term; keep desiccated and protected from light.
After reconstitution: Aliquot and store at ≤ −20 °C (or −80 °C per SOP); avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
Reconstitution tips: Use sterile water or suitable buffer; gently swirl/invert to dissolve. If sterility is required, 0.22 µm filter and aliquot promptly.

Shipping & Fulfillment

Ships with validated cold‑chain packaging. In‑stock orders placed before the daily cutoff ship the same day. 2‑Day FedEx/UPS is standard, with overnight options available. Automated text/email updates included; international shipping available where permitted.

Compliance & RUO Disclaimer

For laboratory research only. Not a drug, cosmetic, food, or household chemical. Not for human or animal use, ingestion, diagnostic, or therapeutic applications. Purchasers warrant appropriate qualifications and compliance with applicable regulations and institutional policies.

FAQs

Is MT‑1 the same as MT‑II?: No. MT‑1 (Afamelanotide) is the 13‑mer NDP‑α‑MSH analog listed above. MT‑II (Bremelanotide/PT‑141) is a distinct cyclic heptapeptide.
Do you provide a PubChem image?: Yes—the 2D structure above is rendered from PubChem CID 16130945 for Afamelanotide (NDP‑α‑MSH).
What purity do you provide?: Each 10 mg vial is ≥99% by HPLC with MS identity confirmation; third‑party testing is performed on every lot (COA via on‑vial QR).
How should I reconstitute it?: Dissolve in sterile water or a compatible buffer; gently invert until fully dissolved. If your SOP requires sterility, 0.22 µm filter and aliquot to avoid repeat freeze–thaw.
