MT-1 (Melanotan 1) Impacts on Dermal, Brain, and Liver Cells
MT-1 (Melanotan 1) is considered to be a synthetic peptide structurally similar to the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), differing by two amino acid substitutions (methionine replaced by norleucine and L-phenylalanine replaced by...
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) Peptide Actions on Muscular Tissue, Bone and Cartilage Cells
Mechano Growth Factor is a 24‐amino acid peptide derived from an alternatively spliced isoform of IGF‐1 (an anabolic mediator of growth hormone), specifically the IGF-IEc variant.(1) Scientists propose proteolytic processing of this isoform to yield both the mature...
Palmitoyl AHK Potential Actions on Hair and Dermal Cell Proliferation and Survival
Palmitoyl AHK appears to be a palmitoylated derivative of a short tripeptide, AHK, which is composed of alanine, histidine, and lysine.(1) Preliminary data collected in laboratory settings findings suggest that AHK may be involved in several cellular processes within...
Receptor Grade IGF-1 LR3 Peptide and Cellular Anabolism
Receptor Grade IGF-1 LR3 peptide may be described as a modified version of the endogenously occurring insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) – the endogenous mediator of the anabolic potential of growth hormone (hGH). In order to produce IGF-1 LR3, scientists...
