Semax (MEHFPGP) – Synthetic Heptapeptide | Research Use Only

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the ACTH(4–10) fragment, with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro (PGP) motif added to enhance metabolic stability and resistance to enzymatic degradation in laboratory settings.

Unlike the parent adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), this modified peptide is structurally engineered to lack hormonal activity while maintaining peptide stability for experimental research applications.

Research Use Only: This material is supplied strictly for laboratory developmental research use. It is not intended for human or veterinary consumption.
