Vialox, also termed Pentapeptide-3V, is a peptide developed to induce partial muscle paralysis, potentially resulting in a decreased prevalence of wrinkles and creases forming along skin structures. Pentapeptide-3V may prevent muscle contraction by exhibiting a curare-like effect at the neuromuscular junction, disallowing the nervous system signals from reaching the muscles. Pentapeptide-3V is of primary interest...

Syn-Coll, also known as Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 or Tripeptide-5, is a peptide that researchers suggest may act to increase the production of Type I and Type III collagen while possibly also inhibiting its degradation. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is suggested to act by activating transforming growth factor-𝛃. Collagen type I is present in the bones, muscles, and skin....

Pal AHK is a peptide also termed Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3. Experiments on Pal AHK suggest that the peptide can activate fibroblast production through its interaction with transforming growth factor-𝛽 (TGF-𝛽). Due to the peptide’s potential to enhance collagen production and reduce creasing across the skin structure, it has been widely researched.   Pal AHK Peptide Overview...

Decapeptide-12 is considered to be an anti-tyrosinase peptide. The peptide has been suggested to inhibit the activities of tyrosinase, an enzyme that catalyzes the production of melanin and other pigments. According to research “tyrosinase activity and melanin production ... is controlled primarily by a post-translational regulation of pre-existing enzyme and not by regulating tyrosinase gene activity.” Tyrosinase...

Livagen is classified by scientists as a potential peptide bioregulator of the liver, GI tract, and immune system. Livagen peptide has been suggested to act on the DNA and gene expression patterns. The gene-activating potential of Livagen on the immune system and GI tract may stem from certain cell aging prevention characteristics of the peptide....

According to a preliminary rodent study, Thymalin peptide may potentially complement pulsed laser radiation for mitigating the proliferation of cancer cells in certain subtypes of cancer. Thymalin may potentially increase antibody-producing cells in the spleen. Nonathymulin peptide has been suggested in studies to have tumor mitigating characteristics, with one study reporting tumor development mitigation in...

GHRP-2, also known as Pralmorelin, is a synthetic peptide that researchers developed to potentially stimulate growth hormone secretion by binding to the growth/ghrelin hormone secretagogue receptor. GHRP-2 is the first growth hormone secretion promoter to be introduced. It has been lauded by scientists as a potential diagnostic peptide for growth hormone insufficiency and subsequent adrenal...

How Is The Bond Created? When two amino acids form a covalent bond, it creates a peptide bond. The Carboxyl group of one amino acid may react with the second amino group of the other amino acid. This essentially forms a peptide bond. Due to this process, a molecule (amide) filled with water may be...

How To Find The Best Peptide Solubility Option Figuring out the most effective solvent to dissolve peptides with is possibly one of the most difficult components when working with peptides and conducting research. Aqueous solutions–also known as sterile waters–are one way to dissolve peptides. Problems do, however, still arise with this method. Some issues you may...
