Basic Info. Exenatide is a 39 amino acid peptide derived from the salivary gland of the Gila monster.  It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used to treat type 2 diabetes.  Exenatide mimics the actions of GLP-1, a natural hormone that regulates insulin secretion and glucagon, improving glycemic control.  It can be administered subcutaneously either twice daily (Byetta) or once weekly (Bydureon BCise).   ...

Basic Info. Glucagon hydrochloride is a medication, primarily used to treat severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in individuals with diabetes, particularly those taking insulin.  It also serves as a diagnostic aid in gastrointestinal imaging, helping to relax the stomach and bowel muscles for improved visualization.   ...

Basic Info. Selank and Semax are synthetic heptapeptides often used together for their potential to improve brain health and function.  They are considered melanocortin stimulating hormone-like peptides and are available as nasal sprays or injections.   ...

Basic Info. GHK  with and without copper affects a large number of genes related to an organism’s response to stress and injury (tissue remodeling, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-pain, anti-anxiety, blood vessel growth, nerve outgrowth, anti-cancer action). ...

Basic Info. GHK-Cuis a tripetide . During wound healing, Copper tripeptide may be freed from existing extracellular proteins via proteolysis and serves as a chemoattractant for inflammatory and endothelial cells. Copper tripeptide has been shown to increase messenger RNA production for collagen,  elastin, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans in fibroblasts. Copper tripeptide is a natural modulator of multiple cllular pathways in skin regeneration. ...

Basic Info. SNAP-8 peptide, or  Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-1,  is an advanced neuropeptide derived from Argireline(Acetyl Hexapeptide-3) . It was designed to enhance the wrinkle-reducing effects of Argireline while providing an even more potent ability to inhabit muscle contractions that cause expression lines.  As part of the peptides in the skincare category. SNAP-8 works by reducing the depth of wrinkles caused by facial movements,  such as frowning, smiling, or squinting. Scientifically, SNAP-8 functions by mimicking a fragment of the SNAP-25protein , which plays a crucial role in neurotransmitter release . It competes with natural SNAP-25 for a spot in the SNARE complex , thereby destabilizing the formation of synaptic vesicles responsible for muscle contractions.  This mechanism effectively leads to a muscle-relaxing effect,  similar to Botox but without injection-related risks. Over time, this helps prevent the deepening of fine lines and wrinkles , particularly on the forehead and around the eyes. ...

Basic Info. Dihexa, also known as N-hexanoic acid-tyrosine-isoleucine-(6)-aminohexanamide, is an oligopeptide drug and an angiotensin IV analog. It is orally active and can penetrate the blood-brain barrier. It has a high affinity for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and enhances the activity of its receptor c-Met.  Dihexa has shown excellent antipsychotic activity and cognitive improvement in animal models and has the potential to study and treat Alzheimer's disease. ...

Basic Info. Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide with a wide range of functions, including vasodilation, regulation of smooth muscle activity, and control of epithelial cell secretion.  It acts as a neuromodulator and neurotransmitter in the gastrointestinal tract and other tissues.  VIP is also involved in immune regulation, potentially playing a role in anti-inflammatory effects.   ...

Basic Info. FOXO4-DRI is a peptide designed to target and eliminate senescent cells, which accumulate with age and contribute to various age-related diseases and tissue damage. FOXO4-DRI works by selectively inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) in senescent cells, effectively clearing them from the body.  This mechanism can help restore tissue health and function by removing the negative influence of senescent cells.   ...

Basic Info. FTPP Adipotide is a research peptide known for its potential in targeting and reducing fat deposits. It functions as an experimental pro-apoptotic peptide, designed to selectively bind to blood vessels supplying white adipose tissue, leading to fat cell depletion. By disrupting the blood flow to fat cells, FTPP induces apoptosis (programmed cell death), causing a reduction in fat mass. Originally investigated for its potential in obesity research, FTPP has demonstrated promising results in animal studies, where it led to significant weight loss without affecting lean muscle mass. Researchers have explored its applications in metabolic health, fat loss studies, and obesity-related conditions. ...

Basic Info. P T- 141 is a synthetic analog of a natural, endogenous peptide known as alpha-MSH. As a result, it stimulates similar receptors and has similar results throughout the body. Alpha-MSH is a melanocortin, a set of hormones that regulate a large range of physical functions.   Acting on the melanocortin 1 receptor produces the effects of PT-141, providing varying effects when interacting in different parts of the brain. They include sexual arousal and functioning, and appetite suppression. Studies have been conducted on PT-141 since it was first synthesized in the 1960s. During routine studies, a researcher injected himself with twice the intended dose. He went on to experience an 8 hour erection. Later studies have shown potential efficacy in treating female sexual dysfunction. ...

Basic Info. Gonadorelin acetate is a synthetic decapeptide that serves as gonadotropin-releasing hormone.analogue.It is used therapeutically under several trade names ,including lutrepules and factrel.The primary targets for gonadotrope cells,which it stimulates to release luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone.these hormones play a crucial role in treating various reproductive disorders. ...
