Research Information
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the N-terminal fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10), modified with a Pro-Gly-Pro extension for stability. It's studied for its role in neuropeptide research. Researchers are interested in how it interacts with BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) signalling and dopaminergic pathways in cell-culture models. The compound has a long history in Russian neuropharmacology research and is used to study melanocortin-independent ACTH fragment activity.
Research areas
- BDNF signalling pathway studies
- Dopaminergic neuron cell-line research
- Melanocortin-independent ACTH fragment studies
- Neuroprotection cell-model research
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. HelixCore products are batch tested for identity and purity as standard.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Batch tested
Every batch is tested for identity and purity (98%+) before it reaches our UK stock.
