About this product
Length: 7 amino-acid residues
Sequence: Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro
Structural relationship: Derived from an ACTH-related sequence.
Molecular structure
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide whose sequence is based on the ACTH fragment containing residues 4 through 7, with a proline-glycine-proline extension.
Methionine contains a sulfur-containing side chain that can undergo oxidation. Glutamic acid provides an acidic group, histidine has a pH-dependent imidazole group, and phenylalanine contains an aromatic ring.
The proline residues constrain the backbone conformation, while glycine allows comparatively greater local flexibility.
Physicochemical properties
The peptide's charge and solubility depend on pH and terminal groups. Oxidation of methionine is a potential chemical modification that can be distinguished analytically from the unoxidized peptide.
Biochemical mechanisms
Semax has been investigated in connection with cellular signaling and gene-expression changes. These reported effects do not establish that the peptide directly binds every protein associated with the observed pathways.
Scientific evidence
The peptide sequence and its relationship to ACTH are established structural facts. Specific direct targets and downstream molecular mechanisms require independent evidence.
Semax is supplied strictly for research use only and is not intended for human or animal consumption, clinical application, diagnostic use, or therapeutic purposes.
