Neurotrophic Signaling
Studied for its rapid upregulation of BDNF and NGF in neural tissue models.
Overview
A neuroprotective ACTH-derived heptapeptide.
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from ACTH(4-10), the melanocortin core of adrenocorticotropic hormone, extended with a stabilizing Pro-Gly-Pro sequence. It is studied as a nootropic and neuroprotective compound, with particular research interest in its rapid upregulation of BDNF and NGF.
Suria's Semax is offered for laboratory research, with batch-specific analytical documentation provided for applicable tested batches, giving researchers a consistent starting point for neurotrophic and cerebral-ische research models.
