What is Semax?

Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from a fragment of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). In research it is studied in BDNF signaling and neurotrophin-expression models.

Research applications

  • BDNF receptor signaling research
  • Neurotrophin expression studies
  • Neuropeptide receptor binding research

Handling & reconstitution

Semax is supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution in bacteriostatic or sterile water. See the reconstitution guide and use the reconstitution calculator to work out concentration and syringe units; for diluent choice see bacteriostatic water vs sterile water.

Quality & Certificate of Analysis

Every Semax lot is verified by independent third-party HPLC (purity) and mass spectrometry (identity), with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis included on each order.
