Semax

Semax is a heptapeptide derived from ACTH studied in research for neuroprotective properties and BDNF pathway regulation.

Research applications

Areas where Semax appears in the laboratory literature. These describe research contexts only — not therapeutic uses or outcomes.

  • Research on ACTH-derived neuropeptide signaling
  • Laboratory studies of BDNF expression
  • In vitro neuroprotective pathway analysis

Handling & storage

Semax is typically supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Lyophilized peptides are generally stored cold and protected from light and moisture; once reconstituted, they are kept refrigerated and used within a limited window. Always follow the handling guidance on the compound's Certificate of Analysis and work under appropriate laboratory conditions. See our reconstitution guide for the general procedure.
