Description
Overview of Semax
Semax (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) is a neuropeptide originally developed to explore the cognitive and neuroprotective mechanisms of the ACTH(4-10) fragment. Unlike the larger hormone, Semax is devoid of hormonal activity but retains significant influence over the central nervous system. In research settings, it is primarily studied for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and influence the levels of neurotrophins, which are essential for the survival and growth of neurons.
Primary Research Applications
This 5mg formulation is a vital reagent for laboratories investigating:
-
Neurotrophic Factor Modulation: Analyzing the peptide’s ability to stimulate the mRNA expression of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF).
-
Neuroprotection and Ischemia: Researching the mechanisms by which Semax may protect neurons from oxidative stress, hypoxia, and excitotoxicity in stroke and traumatic brain injury models.
-
Cognitive and Behavioral Science: Investigating the peptide’s impact on learning, memory retention, and attention spans by modulating dopaminergic and serotonergic systems.
-
Immune-Brain Interaction: Studying the peptide’s role in influencing the expression of cytokines and its potential for modulating the neuro-inflammatory response.
