Peptide families.
Use these summaries for orientation, then review compound-specific primary sources and your laboratory requirements.
Incretin receptor research
Research involving GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptor signalling includes several compounds represented in the Peptidech catalogue.
Tissue-repair pathways
Preclinical literature explores signalling associated with tissue, vascular and extracellular-matrix research.
Growth-hormone pathways
GHRH- and ghrelin-receptor research includes secretagogues and related signalling compounds.
Cellular ageing biology
Mitochondrial function, metabolic models and cellular ageing are active areas of peptide research.
Copper-complex tripeptides
GHK-Cu appears in research concerning copper transport and extracellular-matrix signalling.
Neuro-signalling research
Selected peptides appear in preclinical literature concerning neurotrophic and stress-response pathways.
How to investigate a compound.
Define the question
Begin with a receptor, pathway or experimental endpoint rather than a marketing claim.
Search precisely
Combine the compound name with receptor binding, pharmacokinetics or the relevant assay endpoint.
Assess the model
Separate in-vitro, animal and human evidence and check whether the model fits the research question.
Verify the material
Connect literature review to the actual reference, batch information and available documentation.
