AHK-Cu is often described as a small tripeptide (alanine–histidine–lysine) that may incorporate a copper ion bound to the residues of alanine and histidine. Some researchers believe that the amino acid sequence might be endogenously occurring. Investigations by qualified researchers also propose that AHK-Cu peptide might have a role in modulating several processes in endothelial cells,...

Mechano-growth factor (MGF) is posited to be a short, 24–24-amino-acid segment that may appear within one of the isoforms of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). For context, IGF-1 is widely regarded as one of the most powerful endogenous factors driving cellular growth and proliferation. One of its isoforms produced via the IGF-1 gene appears to be...

Adipotide, also referred to as FTPP or Prohibitin-targeting peptide 1 (Prohibitin-TP01), is a synthetic compound that may mimic specific parts of endogenously occurring proteins. In other words, it is posited to be a “peptidomimetic,” which means it may produce sequences of amino acids to imitate the way certain proteins normally work. The sequence of the...

Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide composed of 44 amino acids designed to closely mimic the structure and function of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Modifications to its structure, particularly at the N- and C-termini, are believed to support its stability and resistance to enzymatic degradation compared to endogenous GHRH. These changes include the addition of an...

GHRP-2 and Ipamorelin are research peptides that are commonly referred to as growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs). This is because they both have the potential to interact with a specific subset of receptors in pituitary gland cells, which are called growth hormone secretagogue receptors. As evident from the name of the receptors, their activation may trigger...

CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin & GHRP-2 are research peptides that are believed to interact with different receptors on pituitary gland cells. These cells are thought to produce a wide variety of hormonal substances that consequently regulate other endocrine cells and tissues. CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin & GHRP-2, in particular, are thought to stimulate the potential of pituitary...

BPC-157 is a fully synthetic peptide consisting of 15 amino acids, classifying it as a pentadecapeptide. Also known as L 14736, PL-10, and Bepecin, this molecule has garnered scientific interest for its potential to interact with intracellular signaling pathways, possibly influencing mechanisms involved in tissue repair and regeneration. Studies suggest that it may promote angiogenesis—the...

Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide composed of the amino acids L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid, and L-arginine (Glu-Asp-Arg)1. It is categorized as a peptide bioregulator because it has been hypothesized to interact directly with cellular DNA and influence gene expression, a property not commonly observed in peptide compounds. Research has associated Pinealon with a range of...

Semaglutide is a synthetic analog of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an endogenous hormone consisting of 30 amino acids. The primary role of GLP-1 appears to support insulin secretion, lower blood glucose levels, and preserve pancreatic beta cells by stimulating insulin gene transcription. Additionally, it has been posited to delay gastric emptying, leading to appetite suppression....
