Melanotan 1 is a high purity melanocortin receptor research peptide, also known as Afamelanotide. AusBioLabs supplies it as a lyophilised powder with more than 99% HPLC purity. In addition, scientists study it in vitro for MC1 receptor binding and melanin production. However, use it only for laboratory research. In short, it is not for human consumption, medical use, or veterinary use.
Melanotan 1 Australia – Melanocortin Receptor Research Peptide | AusBioLabs
Buy Melanotan 1 in Australia – Melanotan 1 is a linear peptide, also known as Afamelanotide. In fact, it is an analogue of alpha MSH, a natural melanocortin hormone. Because of this design, it acts on melanocortin receptors, so researchers study it in laboratory pigment and receptor work.
In the lab, scientists use Melanotan 1 only for in vitro studies. For example, they examine MC1R binding, melanin production, and cell signalling. Overall, AusBioLabs supplies premium research-grade Melanotan 1 strictly for qualified laboratory work.
Key Highlights
- Purity: >99% (Third party HPLC & MS Tested)
- Form: Lyophilised Powder
- Intended Use: Strictly for in vitro laboratory research only. Not for human consumption.
- Shipping: Fast Sydney/Melbourne Dispatch via Australia Post Express
What Is Melanotan 1?
Melanotan 1 is a 13-amino acid peptide built to copy alpha MSH. First, it binds the melanocortin 1 receptor. Then, it triggers signals inside melanocyte cells. As a result, labs use it to study melanin and pigment pathways.
Researchers value Melanotan 1 because it is more selective than Melanotan 2. Moreover, it focuses more on the MC1 receptor in studies. In short, this makes it a useful tool in melanocortin research.
Research Applications (In Vitro / Laboratory Only)
- MC1 Receptor Binding: First, researchers study how Melanotan 1 binds the MC1 receptor.
- Melanogenesis: In addition, scientists examine how it affects melanin production in melanocyte cells.
- Receptor Signalling: Also, labs explore its downstream cell signalling in culture.
- Comparative Analogue Studies: Moreover, teams compare it with Melanotan 2 and alpha MSH in vitro.
- Pigment Cell Research: Finally, Melanotan 1 serves as a benchmark in pigment cell studies.
Storage & Handling
- To begin, store the powder in a cool, dry place below 25°C, and keep it away from light.
- Additionally, for longer storage, store it at-20°C.
- Next, reconstitute with bacteriostatic water under sterile lab conditions.
- Finally, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do researchers use Melanotan 1 for?
Scientists use Melanotan 1 only for in vitro and laboratory studies. For example, they explore MC1 receptor binding, melanin production, and cell signalling in melanocyte models. Above all, it is not for human or animal use.
How is Melanotan 1 different from Melanotan 2?
Both are alpha MSH analogues. However, Melanotan 1 is a linear peptide that focuses on the MC1 receptor. In contrast, Melanotan 2 is a cyclic peptide that acts across several melanocortin receptors. Therefore, researchers pick each one to suit the study.
How do I store and reconstitute Melanotan 1?
Melanotan 1 ships as a lyophilised powder. First, in a sterile lab, researchers usually mix it with bacteriostatic water. Then store the powder below 25°C and away from light, or store it at-20°C for long-term storage. Finally, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Can I buy Melanotan 1 in Australia for research?
Yes. AusBioLabs sells Melanotan 1 only as a research chemical for qualified laboratory use. However, it is not approved for human, medical, veterinary, or household use. Therefore, the buyer takes full responsibility for safe and compliant handling.
