Protirelin is a synthetic tripeptide (L-pyroglutamyl-L-h histidyl-L-proline amide) that has been developed as an analogue of a small peptide endogenously produced in hypothalamic cells called thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH).(1) It is thought that Protirelin may...

Tripeptide-3 (often referred to as Syn-AKE) is a synthetic compound that may mimic one of the actions of waglerin-1, a 22-amino acid peptide found in the venom of the Temple Viper.(1)(2) Structurally, Tripeptide-3 consists of β-alanyl–L-prolyl–3-aminomethyl-L-alanine...

LL-37 is a peptide that belongs to the so-called cathelicidin-derived peptides. Cathelicidins are considered immune-related proteins, and LL-37, in particular, is derived from a larger precursor protein called hCAP18. The name LL-37 comes from the first two amino...

Cartalax (AED or T-31 peptide) is a synthetic tripeptide that some investigators categorize among the so-called Khavinson peptides. These peptides are a set of short amino acid chains that may exert regulatory influences on biological functions and are consequently...

Researchers believe AICAR peptide (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) to be a synthetic analog of adenosine monophosphate (AMP). Both AICAR and AMP are thought to belong to a class of molecules called nucleotides, which serve as the basic building blocks...

Pegylated MGF (Pegylated Mechano-Growth Factor) is a truncated isoform of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), structurally modified to support stability and bioavailability. Pegylated MGF is speculated to play a critical role in promoting myoblast proliferation and...

Fragment 176-191, which scientists may also refer to as hGH Frag 176-191, tyr-hGH 177-191, or AOD-9604, is a synthetic peptide derived from the hGH. It comprises the last 16 amino acids of the hGH molecule, a region hypothesized to be its primary "lipolytic fragment"....

BPC-157, often described as a stable gastric pentadecapeptide (preliminary observations indicate that it may withstand degradation within gastric environments), is a synthetic peptide made of 15 amino acids.(1) It is also sometimes identified under the designations L...

Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (commonly termed as Argireline or acetyl hexapeptide-8 amide) is a synthetic peptide composed of six amino acids arranged in the sequence of Ac-EEMQRR-NH2 (N-acetyl - L-alpha-glutamyl - L-alpha-glutamyl - L-methionyl - L-glutaminyl - L-arginyl -...
