Semax

Description

Overview

Semax is a synthetic regulatory peptide derived from a fragment of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH(4-10)) with the sequence Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro. It has been studied for its neuroprotective, neurotrophic, and nootropic potential, including modulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotransmitter systems (such as serotonin and dopamine), immune gene expression, and vascular support pathways.
