What is Semax?

Semax is a synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide derived from the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) fragment 4-10, with the addition of a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro sequence for stability. Originally developed in Russia for neurological research, Semax is studied for its interaction with melanocortin receptors (particularly MC4R) and its potential influence on BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) expression in preclinical models.

➡️ Suitable for neurological studies, cognitive research, and melanocortin pathway investigations.

Key Research Observations

• Melanocortin Receptor Binding: Interacts with MC3R and MC4R in central nervous system studies.
• BDNF Pathway Research: Investigated for neurotrophic factor expression studies.
• Neuropeptide Studies: Used in cognitive and memory-related research protocols.
• Stable Structure: Pro-Gly-Pro modification provides extended stability for research applications.
