Peptide category
Short peptide sequences associated with signalling and matrix-related research pathways.
About this category
Signalling peptides are typically reviewed for their interactions with cell surface receptors, intracellular markers, and matrix-associated processes. Studies in this category usually focus on observation of pathway activity within controlled laboratory systems.
Copper-binding tripeptide complex
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide complex studied across in vitro, rodent, and topical-cosmetic models, primarily in the context of extracellular matrix and skin biology research.
In vitro, animal, and topical-cosmetic literature
Synthetic ACTH(4–7)-derived heptapeptide analogue
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from ACTH(4–7), most extensively characterised in rodent models of cerebral ischaemia and in vitro neurobiology assays. Approved in the Russian Federation as a research and clinical compound; not approved for human therapeutic use in the United States, United Kingdom, or European Union.

Endogenous KISS1-receptor agonist fragment
Kisspeptin-10 is a C-terminal fragment of the KISS1 gene product that activates the KISS1R (GPR54) receptor. Published research spans cell-based signalling assays, knockout-mouse models, and human reproductive-endocrinology pharmacology studies, alongside emerging bone-biology research.
