Semax 5mg is a synthetic heptapeptide supplied by Echo Peptides exclusively for laboratory and in-vitro research. Structurally, it is an analog of the ACTH(4-10) fragment carrying a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension, a modification that markedly slows enzymatic degradation and gives the molecule the stability profile investigators look for in a well-characterized reference compound.
As a research reference peptide, Semax is studied for how its ACTH-derived core interacts with neurotrophic and neuroprotective signaling. Reported work in cell-culture and preclinical models centers on the modulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF), positioning Semax as a tool compound for investigators probing central nervous system signaling pathways in vitro.
Key research areas
- Neurotrophic factor upregulation, including BDNF and NGF expression models
- Neuroprotective and cognitive research paradigms in cell-culture systems
- Ischemic and oxidative stress response pathways
- Central nervous system signaling and receptor-interaction studies
Each batch is third-party tested for identity and purity, and a Certificate of Analysis is available. The peptide ships as a lyophilized powder in a sterile vial suitable for reconstitution in bacteriostatic water or research buffers.
