UK supplier comparison

Use the filters to pick a size and presentation (vial, pen or serum) and compare like for like, or view every size on a £ per mg basis. Delivery is shown separately because it varies by supplier and order size. Offers whose outbound link failed our last check stay listed but rank below working links.

For in-vitro laboratory research only

MT1 is listed here as a research material. It is not for human or veterinary consumption, and nothing on this page is medical advice or dosing guidance. PeptideCompare is paid by flat supplier fees — never by sales commission or referral — so a price ranks by its number, not by who pays. We do not sell, test or verify any product, and quality or CoA labels are suppliers’ own claims. Always check the final price, documentation and legality with the supplier yourself.

Research profile

About MT1 in the lab

Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a 13-amino-acid alpha-MSH analogue with two substitutions that increase potency and stability. It is licensed as an implant for a rare light-sensitivity disorder and used in melanocortin research.

Proposed mechanism

Agonist at the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) on melanocytes, increasing cAMP and eumelanin synthesis.

Typical research themes

  • MC1R agonism
  • Melanogenesis
  • Photoprotection research

Regulatory note

Licensed only as a prescription implant for a specific condition. Unlicensed products are not approved for human use.
