You can buy Melanotan I from HEEZ Research, which stocks it in a single 10 mg lyophilized vial and ships from the USA. Everything HEEZ supplies is for in vitro laboratory research — not for human or veterinary use.

Melanotan I, also catalogued as afamelanotide, is a 13-amino-acid linear analogue of α-MSH. It is characterized against the melanocortin receptor family.

Melanotan I is a linear 13-residue sequence closely tracking native alpha-MSH; Melanotan II is a shorter cyclic heptapeptide closed by a lactam bridge. The two are structurally distinct molecules with a shared parent peptide.

HEEZ Research sells Melanotan I in a single 10 mg lyophilized vial.

Melanotan I from HEEZ Research is independently tested by an accredited third-party laboratory using HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity. Every peptide we supply is over 99% pure. Certificates of Analysis are published on the product page as testing is completed — review the report before you order. A certificate records the identity, purity and quantity measured for the material supplied, so you can confirm what you received matches what was ordered.

Sealed lyophilized MT-1 vials are stable at ambient temperature in transit and ship without cold packaging. On arrival, store the sealed vial per the storage conditions on its certificate of analysis.

About Melanotan I

What is melanotan-1 peptide?

Melanotan-1 peptide (afamelanotide, [Nle4, D-Phe7]-α-MSH) is a synthetic 13-amino-acid linear analogue of α-MSH, supplied by HEEZ Research as a lyophilized powder for in vitro laboratory use. Norleucine at position 4 and D-phenylalanine at position 7 make it resistant to enzymatic degradation relative to the native tridecapeptide.

How does melanotan-1 work?

In vitro, melanotan-1 is characterized as an agonist at the MC1R family with high selectivity over MC4R. That selectivity profile is why it serves as the linear, MC1R-selective reference in melanocortin-receptor assays.

How HEEZ tests melanotan-1

Solid-phase synthesis, reversed-phase purification, lyophilization.
