Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) fragment 4-10, structurally modified for improved stability in laboratory handling. Supplied as a lyophilized powder in a sealed laboratory-grade glass vial. Intended for in-vitro and laboratory research applications only.Research ContextSemax is studied in in-vitro and animal-model research into signalling pathways associated with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) expression, and their roles in neuronal signalling and synaptic plasticity in research models. It is also investigated in relation to melanocortin receptor activity and dopaminergic and serotonergic signalling, as well as oxidative-stress and inflammatory pathways in central nervous system tissue. These molecular targets make it a subject of interest in neuroscience research.Specifications• Sequence: Validated by mass spectrometry (MS/MS)• Purity: ≥ 99% by HPLC• Form: Lyophilized powder• Molecular Weight: 813.9 Da• Storage: 2 - 8 °C, keep dry and away from light• Shelf Life: 24 months from manufacture date (sealed)Quality & TestingEvery batch is independently tested by a certified third-party laboratory.
