Peptides consist of chains of amino acids that may play a crucial role in many biological processes. One such peptide, MOTS-c (mitochondrial ORF of the 12S rRNA type-c), has recently emerged, found in mitochondria, which is considered the powerhouse of the cell. This peptide is encoded in the mitochondrial genome and appears to be able […]
Ipamorelin, also known as NNC 26-0161, is a pentapeptide with the amino acid sequence Aib-His-D-2-Nal-D-Phe-Lys-NH2. Researchers suggest it may induce a peak in growth hormone (GH) synthesis by the pituitary gland via activating the growth hormone secretagogue receptors (GHS-Rs). In this respect, Ipamorelin is classified as a growth hormone secretagogue (GHS). It appears mimic the […]
BPC-157 is a pentadecapeptide made of 15 amino acids and bears the sequence Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val, and a molecular formula of C62H98N16O22. This is a fully synthetic peptide with a sequence not known to occur in nature. However, it is often termed a “gut peptide,” as it is suggested to have similar structure and properties to other […]
Scientists have created IGF-1 LR3 peptides by modifying the amino acid sequence of IGF-1. The new peptide has similar potential but possibly higher potency and improved stability. The LR3 in the name describes the two modifications to the IGF-1 molecule. Long R3 IGF-1, or IGF-1 LR3, is an analog of insulin-like growth factor 1 […]
Adipotide peptide is a synthetic peptidomimetic and an experimental proapoptotic compound known as FTPP (Fat-Targeted Proapoptotic Peptide). Peptidomimetics are synthetic molecules that may mimic a natural protein’s structural domain. Adipotide appears to bind to the protein receptor prohibitin, which is why it also bears the name Prohibitin-targeting peptide 1 (Prohibitin-TP01). By doing so, it has […]
Vialox peptide (also known as Pentapeptide-3V) has been suggested to exhibit potential in preventing muscle contraction by exhibiting a curare-like effect at the neuromuscular junction, disallowing the nervous system signals from reaching the muscles. Vialox peptide is of interest because of its potential to communicate between muscles and nerves. Vialox peptide has been suggested to […]
Syn-coll peptide or Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a peptide that has been hypothesized to increase the production of Type I and Type III collagen while inhibiting its degradation (1). It is also known as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 or Tripeptide-5. Syn-coll peptide appears to induce these functions by activating the transforming growth factor. Research has suggested that Syn-coll may […]
Pal-GHK, also known as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 or Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, may act to mitigate the development of creasing in the epidermis and may regulate trans-epidermal water loss.[1,2] Pal-GHK is a peptide with a fatty acid end and a peptide end. Pal-GHK peptide is a fibroblast stimulant and a minor component of the elastin protein. Contents: Potential Function […]
TB-500 peptide is a synthetic version of Thymosin Beta-4 found in animal cells.[1] TB-500 is a peptide sequence composed of 43 amino acid molecules and a member of 16 cohabiting molecules with high sequence conservation and localization in tissues and circulating cells. In eukaryotic cells, the TB-500 peptide is suggested to bind to actin, inhibit […]
PTD-DBM peptide has been suggested to promote Wnt/Beta-catenin signaling by inhibiting CXXC5 binding to Disheveled (Dvl), an upstream component of the Wnt/-catenin pathway. Protein Transduction Domain-fused Disheveled Binding Motif (PTD-DBM) is a synthetic peptide that appears to work in conjunction with CXXC5. This hair loss-linked endogenous protein may act as a negative feedback modulator of […]
Pegylated MGF peptide is a slightly modified form of insulin-like growth factor 1. (IGF-1). According to research, the peptide may improve myoblast (muscle cell) differentiation and proliferation.[1] Pegylation is the process by which polyethylene glycol polymer chains are attached or transferred to molecules and macrostructures such as peptides or vesicles. Pegylation may affect derivative interactions, slowing […]
GHK Basic peptide has two variants: GHK-Cu and GHK. GHK, with or without copper, may potentially affect genes involved in stress response and tissue remodeling. GHK Basic is a naturally occurring tripeptide with the amino acid sequence glycyl-histidyl-lysine found in saliva, urine, and plasma.[1] The natural decrease in endogenous GHK production is considered to be […]
