Product Description

Melanotan-I, a peptide hormone, belongs to the melanocortin family and is primarily known for its potential to stimulate melanin production in the body. With a molecular weight of approximately 1646.88 g/mol, Melanotan-I acts as an agonist for the melanocortin receptors, specifically targeting the MC1 receptor. This interaction triggers a cascade of biochemical events, ultimately leading to increased melanin synthesis and pigmentation. Although the importance of Melanotan-I in scientific research and potential therapeutic applications cannot be overstated, it is crucial to avoid using terms like crucial, essential, pivotal, or integral to maintain a dry, scientific tone.

If your product is within its expiration period, and has not performed according to expectations, fill out the sample return form. Return the unused sample frozen, with the auto generated packing slip to the address on the instructions. You will receive a full refund along with a replacement of the unused portion (inclusive of the failed test). Damages do not cover any additional costs incurred for failed experimentation. 

Lyophilized Melanotan-I although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution MT-I should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Melanotan-I in sterile 1% acetic acid not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
