Unlike native -MSH, which has a very short plasma half-life due to rapid enzymatic degradation, MT-1 incorporates a linear sequence modification that significantly extends its stability in biological matrices while preserving high-affinity binding at melanocortin receptors primarily MC1R, the receptor responsible for eumelanin synthesis in melanocytes
