It acts as a non-selective agonist at melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R), with particular affinity for MC1R, which plays a central role in regulating melanogenesis in epidermal melanocytes. Unlike its cyclic counterpart Melanotan II, MT-I exhibits a more selective receptor binding profile, making it a valuable tool for researchers investigating melanocortin receptor pharmacology, pigmentation biology, and photoprotective mechanisms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eResearch Applications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMelanocortin receptor (MC1R–MC5R) binding and activation studies\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMelanogenesis and pigmentation pathway research\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePhotoprotection and UV-induced DNA damage response studies\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eComparative α-MSH analogue pharmacology research\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and neuroendocrine signalling studies\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stable for 24 months when stored correctly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolubility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soluble in water and aqueous buffers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eAll SHPeptide compounds are manufactured under strict quality control conditions.
