Semax
Brain-and-memory research peptide
Semax is a short lab-made peptide first developed in Russia. It is based on a small piece of a natural hormone the body makes, with a few extra building blocks added so it holds up longer.
Also known as ACTH(4-10) analog · Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro
How it is studied
In laboratory and animal studies, scientists look at how it relates to a natural protein that helps nerve cells grow and stay healthy. It is also studied for how it touches one of the brain's signaling systems.
Research context
A reference compound in brain research. Scientists study it in laboratory and animal models of learning, memory, and how nerve cells hold up under stress.
Research area
Cognition, mood & sleep research. This group covers molecules that scientists study in the brain, in the body's stress-response system, and in the sleep-wake cycle. Most are short chains of amino acids (the tiny building blocks of proteins), and a couple are signaling substances the body makes on its own. All are described here for laboratory research only.
