Semax 5mg

Description

Semax Peptide Overview

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the ACTH(4-10) fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone, modified for stability. Developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it is one of the most studied nootropic and neuroprotective peptides in research.

BDNF and NGF Expression

Semax is studied for rapidly increasing the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) and their receptors, a pathway central to neuroplasticity and neuronal survival research.

Cognitive and Nootropic Research

As an ACTH(4-10) analog stripped of hormonal activity, Semax is investigated for effects on attention, memory and learning in cognitive research models.

Neuroprotection

Semax is studied for neuroprotective signaling under conditions of oxidative and ischemic stress, and for modulation of the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems.

Melanocortin System Activity

Deriving from ACTH, Semax is studied for interactions with the melanocortin system that contribute to its neurotrophic and neuroprotective research profile.
