Decapeptide-12: Studies in Skin Cell Lightening and Anti-Aging
Decapeptide-12 is research peptide made of ten amino acids with the sequence YRSRKYSSWY, which appears to be a targeted inhibitor of melanogenesis that acts primarily by competitively blocking...
ABP-7 Peptide Support for Cellular Signaling and Migration
ABP-7, also referred to as actin-binding peptide-7 or the TB-500 fragment, is a molecule made of seven amino acids that has the sequence of Acetyl-LKKTETQ. It appears to be a fragment of the...
B7-33 Potential Actions on Inflammation and Fibrosis
B7-33 is an experimental peptide designed as a simplified analogue of the natural hormone relaxin-2 (H2 relaxin). In physiological systems, relaxin family peptides such as H1, H2, and H3 relaxins,...
ACE-031 Actions on Muscle Cells, Bone Cells, and Fat Cells
ACE-031 is a complex protein structure consisting of a receptor and an antibody. It appears to act as a soluble decoy version of the activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB), as the receptor is linked to...
AHK-Cu and Hair Follicle Cell Cultures
AHK-Cu is classified as a tripeptide with the sequence of alanine–histidine–lysine (AHK) which has a copper ion attached to the middle amino acid - histidine. The AHK structure appears to have...
Adipotide (FTPP) Actions on Fat Cell Size and Metabolism
Adipotide (FTPP) is considered to be a chimeric peptide (GKGGRAKDC-GG-D(KLAKLAK)2) engineered to target endothelial cells from white-adipose vasculature and induce their apoptosis. As a chimeric...
The Neuroprotective and Gastroprotective Potential of Semax
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide (Met–Glu–His–Phe–Pro–Gly–Pro) originally derived from fragments of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) but lacking hormonal activity. It consists of a 4-amino acid...
P021 Peptide: Neuroprotective and Neurotrophic Potential
P021 appears to be a short synthetic peptide that emerged from efforts to identify minimal structural elements of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) that retain activity while avoiding some of the...
Selank Peptide: Potential Support for Neurotransmitters and Neurotrophins
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide, and the seven amino acids in its structure are in the configuration of Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (TKPRPGP). The peptide appears to be a modified analogue of the...
