Semax

About Semax

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide used in research studying neuroprotection, cognitive function, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) pathways.

This research peptide is supplied as a lyophilized powder that requires reconstitution before use in laboratory applications. It is provided at research-grade purity for in-vitro studies only.

Research Applications: Semax is used exclusively for laboratory research purposes. It is not intended for human consumption, medical treatment, or any form of in-vivo application.

Storage: Store lyophilized powder at -20°C. After reconstitution, store at 2-8°C and use within the timeframe specified by the manufacturer.

Detailed Research Information

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), extensively studied in neuroscience and cognitive enhancement research. As a research compound, Semax is investigated for its nootropic properties, neuroprotective effects, and neurotrophic factor regulation.

Key Research Applications

Cognitive Enhancement Research: Semax is utilized in studies examining attention mechanisms, memory consolidation processes, and learning capacity in various cognitive and behavioral testing models.

Neuroprotection Studies: Research applications include investigation of oxidative stress resistance, examining protective effects against hypoxia, ischemia, and excitotoxicity in neuronal culture and animal models.

Neurotrophic Factor Research: Semax is employed in studies exploring brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulation, nerve growth factor (NGF) expression, and neuroplasticity enhancement mechanisms.

Neurochemistry Studies: Research utilizes Semax to investigate dopaminergic and serotonergic system modulation, examining effects on monoamine neurotransmitter metabolism and receptor expression.

Mechanism of Action

Semax functions through enhancement of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) expression in various brain regions including the hippocampus and cortex. Research demonstrates that Semax influences gene expression related to immune response, neurotransmitter systems, and oxidative stress resistance. The peptide modulates dopamine and serotonin metabolism, enhances neuronal survival under stress conditions, and promotes synaptic plasticity through BDNF/TrkB receptor signaling pathways.
