Adipotide (FTPP) and Fat Cells
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...
Semaglutide Research in Hormone Signaling
Semaglutide is a peptide agonist to the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors in the pancreas, the brain, and other organs. The hypothetical action of the compound is considered to be similar to GLP-1, a peptide hormone naturally produced in the intestine. It is an incretin, meaning it is considered to stimulate insulin secretion. Semaglutide is also...
Research in Wrinkle Reduction and Vialox
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 and Collagen Production Stimulation
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 Peptide and Experimental Research in Wrinkle Depth
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 Research in Regards to Blood Vessel Growth and Wound Healing
TB-500 peptide is a synthetic version of Thymosin Beta-4 found in animal cells. 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 and Research Involving Hair Growth
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 and Muscle Development
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. 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 Studies in Tissue Degeneration and Inflammation
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. The natural decrease in endogenous GHK production is considered to be...
