Semax
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the ACTH(4-10) fragment, modified with a Pro-Gly-Pro tail for stability. It is a reference compound in neurotrophic-factor expression and neuropeptide signaling research.
A stabilized ACTH-fragment reference peptide for neurotrophic-pathway studies.
What it is
Semax is a synthetic peptide based on the 4-10 fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), modified with a Pro-Gly-Pro tail that resists enzymatic breakdown.
It is used as a tool compound in pre-clinical neuropeptide and neurotrophic-factor expression research. Supplied for laboratory use only.
