Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) derived from a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10) with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension that increases stability. It is used as a reference compound in neuroscience research.
Semax was developed as a non-hormonal ACTH fragment analog and is studied as a tool compound in models of neuroplasticity and neuroprotection.
In rodent and cell-culture studies, semax has been investigated for its effects on BDNF and other neurotrophin expression, as well as markers of neuroprotection. These are preclinical research observations only and are not claims about effects in humans.
Supplied lyophilized. Store at -20°C. Reconstitution with sterile or bacteriostatic water is common for laboratory use. Refrigerate reconstituted solution and use it within the researcher's protocol window.
Identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry and purity is determined by HPLC. Each batch ships with a batch-specific certificate of analysis from an independent third-party laboratory; refer to the COA for lot-specific values. Endotoxin and sterility testing are not performed unless stated.
