Semaglutide (GLP-1) Peptide: Hunger Hormone Signaling Regulation and Glycemic Control
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...
AOD 9604 Research Into Fat Cell Metabolism and Lipolysis
AOD 9604 is described as a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal portion of the native growth hormone (GH). It is specifically derived from the last 15 amino acids (residues 177–191) of GH,...
Cardiogen Peptide: Studies on Cardiac Tissues and Cancerous Cells
Cardiogen (H-Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg-OH)[1] is a short peptide classified as a bioregulator, primarily recognized for its potential influence on fibroblasts—cells responsible for tissue repair and scar...
Matrixyl Peptide: Potential Impacts on Cellular Aging and Wound Repair
Matrixyl, chemically recognized as palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 (later renamed palmitoyl pentapeptide-4),[1] is a synthetic lipopeptide composed of a fatty acid conjugated to a short chain of amino...
Lipopeptide Research in Skin Cells and Extracellular Matrix Components
Lipopeptide (aka Palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 or Pal-VGVAPG) is a synthetic peptide derived from a fragment of the protein called elastin. Specifically, its peptide sequence is repeated several times in...
Kisspeptin-10 Peptide: Neuroprotection, Hormonal and Reproductive Regulation
Kisspeptin-10, an endogenously occurring peptide, is derived from the KISS1 gene. The original 145-amino acid polypeptide undergoes proteolytic cleavage to yield a smaller peptide comprised of 54...
