Semax
A synthetic heptapeptide derived from the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4–10) sequence, a naturally occurring fragment involved in stress regulation, immune response, and neural signaling. Developed to study how short peptides influence neuroprotection, learning, memory, and recovery from stress or injury.
Research Focus
- Regulation of learning, memory, and cognitive performance.
- Influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression and signaling.
- Enhancement of synaptic plasticity and neuronal communication.
- Exploration of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways.
- Mechanisms supporting cellular resilience and neuroprotection.
Mechanisms Under Study
- Modulation of gene expression related to neurotrophic factors.
- Regulation of neural adaptation and repair after stress or ischemia.
- Peptide-driven signaling supporting nerve growth and synaptic strength.
Product Information
- Supplied as a lyophilized sterile powder.
- Third-party verified for purity, molecular identity, and composition.
- For laboratory research use only, not for human or animal use.
