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 synthesized to high purity and independently verified prior to release, giving researchers a consistent starting point for neurotrophic and cerebral-ischemia research models.
