SEMAX 10 mg

Semax Research Peptide – 10mg Vial

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derivative (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) modeled after a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10) paired with a stabilizing C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro sequence. It comes as a freeze-dried powder in a 10 mg glass vial, supplied for laboratory research into central nervous system dynamics.

Why Researchers Are Interested In It:

Because of its influence on neurotrophic factor expression and enhanced metabolic stability, Semax is a popular subject in lab research. Most of this work is done in cell cultures and tissue models, where scientists look at:

• Neurotrophin expression: How the peptide upregulates gene expression of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF).
• Melanocortin receptor activity: How it interacts with MC4 and MC5 receptor subtypes without activating classical steroidogenic pathways.
• Enzymatic stability: How the C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro sequence protects the peptide against peptidase breakdown in biological matrices.

FOR LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY: This product is a research chemical. It is not a drug, supplement, or medical product, and it is not intended for human or animal use, or for diagnosing, treating, or preventing any condition.

In lab studies, Semax is evaluated for how it interacts with neural cells and neurochemical pathways:

• Neurotrophin Modulation: Assayed in neuronal cell cultures to measure increases in BDNF and NGF gene expression.
• Melanocortin Interactions: Evaluated for selective receptor binding across MC4 and MC5 receptor subtypes in cell assays.
• Peptidase Resistance: Studied for its extended metabolic half-life resulting from the stabilizing tripeptide sequence on its C-terminus.
